- Gibbon1 11y agoI think Atmel's and to a lessor extent Microchip have a real problem on their hands with the proliferation of low cost low power ARM based microcontrollers. And also getting squeezed on the higher end by Linux capable processors. Where I work when confronted by the need to move away from AVR Mega parts due to cost instead of going the xmega route I punted us over to a low cost ARM micro. That was three years ago.
