Speed kills. Some of the stuff I see today for >10Gbit stuff... scopes cost as much as a house, and scope probes each as much as a BMW (used). | |

MCUs in that speed-range are all many, many pin BGA, so you're going to need X-Ray inspection facilities for assembly (or to farm it out - EXPENSIVE). Also, you'll need active probes to not load your busses down, and you should probably go with name-brand tools (e.g. Agilent) so you have access to support. | |
