Yes, the 128 bit wide Flash is nice, depending on just how they
implement the fetch, with or without lookahead.  On the other hand the
OKI 500x parts have true cache which speeds both the flash and any
external memory.

Actually I checked my quote and the 5003 was $9.48 on 100 pieces, $8.59
at 1000.  I believe that is about 7 to 8 eur, but if you aren't ordering
100 pieces or more, who really cares about a buck or two?
