Yes, and soon we will have PIC powered and AVR powered servers in the data center, joining our ARM and RISC V servers.

  Don't forget the 6502.xxlarge instance coming soon to AWS :) /s

    I'm betting the shop on 68k.24xlarge

      You can have whatever you want, via FPGA instances (like F1).

  There are ARM and RISC-V servers. The ARM ones are even available in major clouds. Why are you comparing to microcontrollers?

      I'm counting the HiFive; I suppose it depends how you define your terms. The point is that RISC-V can scale down to compete with PIC/AVR, but it can also scale up to "real" compute so it's a bit nonsense to dismiss it as only being for embedded.

It still took them several decades to achieve that..
