microprocessor - Do 4-bit CPUs still outsell 32-bit CPUs in unit volume?


Way back in 2002, Jim Turley mentioned that about 14% of all CPUs sold were 4-bit CPUs, while about 8% of all CPUs sold were 32-bit CPUs. (Most people I know were surprised that any 4-bit CPUs were still being made, much less that they were doing so well).


It's 2011 now -- Do 4-bit CPUs still outsell 32-bit CPUs and 64-bit CPUs combined in unit volume? Where could I go to look up the latest numbers for sales by unit volume? What are the top websites and magazines to learn more about modern 4-bit CPUs and their development tools?

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
