  Think MCUs are of the kinds like Arduino and microBit. There are also SBCs where bigger and more power hungry devices like Raspberry Pi belongs to.

    Super late, but the term MCU refers to the actual chip -- analogous to SoC for the main chip on a raspi. You don't call the raspi an SoC, and it's debatable that you'd call a prototyping platform like Arduino an MCU. The MCU is the main Atmel AVR, Microchip PIC, or similar part that drives such a board.
