#158698 - Extra connectivity
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Per Westermark said:
A possible use would be to get more processing power while trying to avoid new certifications of existing hardware.

Another possibility is extra connectivity.

Nowadays everything - even your toaster - has to be connected to the internet, doesn't it?

While it is entirely possible to put internet connectivity into an 8051, it's a lot easier with something like an ARM.
And internet connectivity doesn't necessarily need a lot of extra IOs...
