Microchip Technology Jumps to Number One in Worldwide 8-bit
Microcontroller Shipments
http://www.microchip.com/1010/edit/prelease/archive/9_427/index.htm

The above article references the report 2002 Microcontroller Market
Share and Unit Shipments which is available from http://www.gartner.com
at a cost of $1295 USD.

Steve Sanghi also presented this information at the 2003 Microchip
Masters Conference. I was there and so was Olin. And, there are others
on this list who also heard Steve's address at lunch the first day of
the conference.
