I think there are some very significant clues here regarding M's self-confidence and future direction.

M have stood by their DSP USP but solved the third party issue so offering a path into M for "conventional" system owners; I don't think that excludes their own processor.

I wonder if this news was meant to leak out...?

In the spirit of Spinaltap, I would like to confirm that I am not involved in the corrupt theft of a global sport.
