After reading the article the chips they chose shook the world because of their silicon, not good tool support like AVR studio and Arduino, which was what made the Atmegas so popular. The 328 in particular is otherwise a boring and low powered chip micro, despite its impact on the hobby world.

- manaskarekar 9y agoIn that case, perhaps the ESP8266/ESP32 qualify?
- duskwuff 9y agoDefinitely not. Both of those parts are neither old enough, nor influential enough, to have "shook the world" in any way.
- stefanpie 9y agoOh I understand now; the 328 is just a simple microcontroller which isn't really technologically progressing, still a pretty useful platform for prototyping some system in an afternoon before ramping up the deisgn and manufacturing.
