#186260 - I think that
Responding to: ???'s previous message
That will surely shift the perspective of NXP and others' attempt to push through the 32-bitters to the lowest end.

I think that there will always be a market for 8-bitters (I have heard there still is one for 4-bitters) what will happen is that the short runs will move to 32 bits for ease, the cost criticals will stay at 8 bits.

The demise of 8 bits will happen when enough abandon them (I guess 10+ years from now) to make the runs so small that the manufacturing of an 8-bitter will be more expensive than a larger piece of silicon in a larger volume.

BTW all you 5V fighters will add to the demise of the 8 bitters since they take twice the die size of a 3V3 chip.
