Wagner,

I saw this when it came out as well. I found it really
disspointing because the MCU figures included DSPs.
TI's sales figures of B$1.9 would of course be mostly DSPs,
which I certainly don't think of as a traditional MCU. I
would be quite surprised to learn that the TMS320 line, for example
competes directly with PICs, AVRs and MC68HC05/08/11/16.
It would be extremely interesting to see figures with DSPs
taken out...
