Hi all,

I would be interested to find out some figures about the share
in the embedded processor market of the different vendors such as ARM,
IBM, NEC, etc.

Does anyone know about any web resources where those details are cleary
shown?

Thanks for your help,
Marcus

The surveys there are, that are any good, tend not to be free. :-( I
did have one that is about 5 years old but it is not a public one.

Otherwise you have to extrapolate from the vendors marketing claims and
detective work on the company reports

FWIW, Microchip is top in 8-bit MCUs, and Atmel is 5th. I think that
came from a Gartner report, originally.

It is important to know if this is in terms of processor count or if
it is in terms of revenue from those sales. Of course that importance
depends on why the question is being asked. But then I can't think of
a reason why this question in either form would really be useful in an
of itself.

Well, it must be really useful to the folks who pay Gartner big bux to
do their research (for example, useful for the salescritters to employ
whilst flogging their respective products).
