 		 #181209 - Rest of NXP's 8051 line to follow..?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Jan Waclawek said:
I find it funny they started the sweepout at the lowest-end, where IMHO is the least probability that one would like to replace them with the 32-bitters


Andy Neil said:
Surely, the low end is precisely where you do want to stay 8-bit - it's the high end where 8-bit makes least sense!!


I guess this means that NXP will now accelerate their withdrawal of the 8051 product line so that it will probably all be EOL in around 12-18 months time..
