But these chips are not available yet. Last week I tried to sample some of them on MicrochipDirect, they seem to not sell them yet!

this dspic is in production.

Please mikroe , put this in dspic compiler

@alcidesramos

I saw that today, they have some of them on their shop MicrochipDirect.

But what I don't understand, is what's the point with these controllers?
Seriously, the DSPIC33EP256MU806-I/PT for example cost about $7.19, I think this is too much compared to the offer in 32Bit chips today! ARM based chips costs really lower than that and have by far better peripherals, and with that price, these chips does not compete even with Microchip PIC32 chips.
Why would users use a PIC24E instead of PIC32 or ARM based chip ?

Depend of applications... Depend of what you need...

Sometimes, DSPIC E or PIC24 E it's 10 time faster than PIC32 at the same MIPS.

True, this depend also of libraries...

the pic 32 is microcontroler, they have more bit but no haver dsp hardware, it is for software, the new dspic it for dsp high velocyty dsp this harware for this.

Please mikroe put this in your compiler.

MikroElektronika has never before NOT added new processors, with a little patience these new chips will be added for sure and be available in the next update.

Floran, I'm ok with you about the dsPICxx ... these have hard dsp functionalities .. this is why I said "PIC24" in my post. I don't see what justify PIC24 prices compared to PIC32 unless you need small or DIP packages!
