I think embedded systems account for the vast majority of chip production, so any dynamics involving Intel/AMD would be very minor.

In units, perhaps, but not in $$, far from it.

Embedded chips are generally cheap. CPU’s sell for ~1,000x the price of most embedded chips. X00$ CPU vs X0c 32 bit microprocessors / microcontroller etc.

10c 32-bit microcontroller from Intel/AMD? Have I been buying the wrong chips? Care to share some links?

EDIT: commenter above edited their post, mentioned $.10 MCUs from Intel/AMD

I edited the comment for clarity, but never mentioned Intel or AMD.

All right, X0 c 32-bit microcontrollers from whom?
