It’s a microcontroller that can also function as a real-time CPU. RISC-V is already quite popular in that market.

- OhMeadhbh 3y agoFor some definitions of the word "popular". Definitely getting more popular than Tensilica, but still hasn't quite reached 8051 levels of popularity.
- BirAdam 3y agoEvery Western Digital HD, the Titan M2 in Pixel 6 and 7, newly manufactured Seagate HDs, and more… I’d say that counts as popular. Is it as popular as ARM? Technically, nothing comes remotely close to ARM in chips shipped. If that’s your measure, X86 isn’t popular.
- OhMeadhbh 3y agoYou probably have 2 or 3 8051s in your wallet. Virtually every appliance which uses electricity and has a display has one or two. And sure... you probably have more Pixel 6's and SD Cards than lightbulbs, but most homes in America have FAR more 8051s than RV32s.
