At the 10 year horizon the grandparent was using, the ultra low end of MCU may be substantially more powerful, with possibly lowend AM or RISC V being the smallest thing you can find. At some point, packaging will dominate cost over silicon for such small MCU so a better silicon won't cost much more...
- zozbot234 7y agoPackaging will dominate silicon costs? I see plenty of silicon chips directly soldered onto PCB's for the smallest and cheapest applications, i.e. no packaging whatsoever.
