Microcontroller is even a bit overstated or fuzzy these days. My keyboard and mouse each have ARM SOCs.

- blihp 8y agoHow so? I would classify the ARM M0 (most likely what's in those devices) as a microcontroller-class device. Yes, it's a SOC... but so is the Atmel AVR and almost every other microcontroller these days. I tend to classify devices based on their use cases rather than specific hardware limits since it's a sliding scale over time. (i.e. today's 8-bit microcontrollers exceed what we had with 1980's-era 8-bit PCs on pretty much every front other than RAM... but they generally aren't considered anything more than microcontrollers today)
