I was going to quibble with your use of "microprocessor", given that you seem to be implying that it wouldn't include more powerful CPUs, but that got me thinking: given the change in transistor sizes since that name was coined should we be calling them "nanoprocessors" these days?
- tkanarsky 4y agoAgh, I meant to say microcontroller. But you're right, microprocessor is too broad of a term these days when it can refer to both a top-flight AMD workstation chip and a tiny stm8. Nanoprocessor sounds about right for the latter :)
