1. SOPC builder creates logic to connect specifically the master/slaves as described in the SOPC system. It's not a plug-and-play bus, if you add a component you need to regenerate all the bus logic. I guess it would be what you call 'dedicated'

2. yes

3. more than what?

4. I wouldn't call it special. It is integrated with SOPC builder, and does its job very well

5. superior in what? The question is too vague

6. any one the hardware can support

7. it depends

8. I don't know any ;)
