While the CPU is a better fit than the 8 bit contemporaries, the 16kb of working memory is going to be a struggle.
It's cool because the registers are all in RAM, with a "workspace pointer" on the CPU pointing at where they are. This is slow, but a context switch is just changing that pointer.
Yeah it really was an interesting choice on their part. Makes sense as a move for TI. Not the target market.
