What sort of optimization might be possible? Also, is there any active development today on separate instruction and data address space architectures?

- kragen 9y agoIt probably no longer makes sense to use AVRs instead of ARMs (or MIPS or whatever) for cost reasons, but there are still a lot of things out there that use them for backward-compatibility reasons — most notably most Arduinos — and lots of people are still doing active development for those things, and probably will be until the mid-2020s, if not later. People are still building new 8051-based systems, for heaven's sake, although not using discrete 8051 chips.
