The comment applies to both high-end CPUs and to microcontrollers as well. Power and performance are even more critical on a microcontroller than on an high-end CPU.

And yet you yourself said:

> The CPUs you mentioned were simple micro-controllers, they were not designed for heavy processing tasks, they don't even have a branch predictor which is something fundamental to have some significant performance.

So it seems his comparison was fair, after all? Given that the article is about microcontrollers too.
