they're all a decade old. it's absurd that we havent found any architectural wins.

i have no idea whether there'a just scant dew wins to be had, or whether this complete lack of innovation is a company asleep at the wheel.

do you also love the cortex-a53 for application processing? because it too is another dinosaur relic that we seemingly cant eacape from. a55 seems to have made a like 12% difference.

As an EE/embedded dev the M4s are approaching a mature technology for the bog standard MCU driven products I work on. You can get a 180MHz processor with 1MB of RAM and 2MB of flash. For reading sensors and doing some lightweight application layer stuff I don’t know what more I would even ask for. Current product is not power constrained so not paying much attention to that.
