As an example, the modern equivalent of its STM32F0 chip would probably be an STM32G0.

STM32F030F4 ($0.55@2500) -> STM32G030F6 ($0.49@2500):

* Clock speed: 48MHz -> 64MHz

* Flash memory: 16KiB -> 32KiB

* SRAM: 4KiB -> 8KiB

* CPU core: Cortex-M0 -> Cortex-M0+

The newer chips are also on a smaller process node, so they can run off of slightly lower voltages and use a bit less power.

They're incremental improvements, but time is starting to march on...
