Thin oxides leak. Real thin oxides leak a lot. This problem has also hit
FPGAs and CPLDs.
I wouldn't totally forget the idea, but you do have to pay attention and
check the fine print in the data sheets.
A few vendors are targeting the battery powered market. Think cell phones.
It's an interesting balance between performance when active and leakage when
inactive.
How much memory and/or CPU do you need? If your problem will fit into an ARM
class system, there are multiple choices, including some/many with RAM and
Flash on chip.
