Go Faster Atmel '52 MCUs

[moby]

Its now over a year that Atmel has had the single cycle 89LP2052 MCUs
on their website - long enough to acquire errata etc, yet the only
disty admitting to their existance is Digikey, and they show zero
stock. Does anyone know if these things exist or are they just a chip
designers wet dream ?. They say they are sampling but getting samples
out of Atmel is on a par with getting moonrocks from NASA. Does anyone
know the deal on these things ?.

Atmel has a long history of early announcements...
