You may be reading too much into Lyle's actual words:

"The microcontroller is like, but not the same as, the one in the K3. The
DSP is a new, 5th generation device designed for extremely low power
consumption, yet with performance exceeding that of the one in the K3."

Merv I believe Lyle is saying the DSP chip is new...not the firmware driving
it.  I believe the idea of the KX3 is to save development time and cost by
porting the K3's DSP firmware to the KX3's DSP.  The "performance" he refers
to may be speed (in addition to lower power consumption), but  I don't
believe speed is a limiting factor in the K3's present DSP (but I could be
wrong for timing issues such as QSK).  BTW both DSPs are 32 bit so there's
no difference there.

73,  Bill
