> Wondering How big a market for 30-60MIPS? > For end user, the higher the MIPS, the better for most of the case. That's where the ARM uC's are strong now. I doubt Microchip could beat the NXP chips in this arena on price and features. There might be a niche left for DIP chips, but I doubt that is large enough.
