A Mega88 at 20MHz, runs each instruction in 50nS, has a hardware 8x8,
will do a signed longxlong in 3.75uS, NO sodding paging or banking or
256 byte breaks or movlw. Assembler is a breeze. From an equipment
POV, AVR seems about 10x more powerful than PIC.
Was not Atmel for sale or sometng?
Yes, Microchip (PIC) tried to buy them. The GFC stepped in and ruined
the deal though, not to mention that Atmel put up a fight.
