Perhaps an alternative is to roll your own multi-core processor with an
FPGA and some of the many 8-bit processor cores running around. This has
the advantage of you being able to select different processors for different
purposes, and also to choose the internal bussing mechanism.

I was wondering if Atmel ever
thought about making a multi-core AVR chip? Specifically I am in the need of
an array of simple processors, thus have 4-8 AVRon one chip would be great,
basically they could run off the same crystal and be connect through SPI or
I2C internally. Then using the chained JTAG they would be easy to program and
such.
Of course I can design a board
with several processors on it…
