It is tough to interpret the results.

On explanation may be the effectiveness that some companies
communicate directly with their customers.

Another is how much do some companies depend on wide spread
general comments for marketing communication. Traditionally
part of Microchips approach compared to quiet communication to a few
high volume customers (Some of the better Taiwan companies)

Someone earlier pointed out the format of the question significantly
changed the results. I did another google exercise by asking the
same question and just looking for hits. Here the objective is to
see long term the body of literature that has accumulated

6502 applications
8051 applications
avr applications
pic applications

The above list is ordered by number of hits. Changing applications to
some other phrase is likely to yield other mixes.

What the google trends does show is the effect of a press announcement
on the number of hits but I don't think it extends to be a market predictor
