Intel Just Joined Elon Musk's $25 Billion Chip Factory

TIL #microchip still makes new PIC18 #microcontroller designs with modern peripherals like I3C, cheap development boards, and even a DIP option. Hard to find exact dates but the one I'm looking at (PIC18-Q20) lists 2021 in the copyright.

This is a sentimental story, but it is also an instructive one. The reunion appears to have depended less on chance alone than on identification infrastructure and human coordination after the cat was found.

Microchip SAM9X75 Hybrid automotive MCU – Surprisingly ARM9 is still a thing in 2026

When Microchip launched the SAM9X60 in 2020, we were surprised to see a new SoC based on a legacy ARM926EJ-S core. But we were even more surprised to see Microchip doubling down with the SAM9X75, a hybrid automotive-qualified (AEC-Q100 Grade 2) System-in-Package (SiP) with the same classic ARM9 core and integrated DDR2 or DDR3L memory. The first part will be the SAM9X75D5M SiP with 512MB on-chip DDR2 RAM, but the company also designed the SAM9X75D1G with 1 Gbit DDR3L and the SAM9X75D2G featuring 2 Gbit DDR3L. The SAM9X75 hybrid ARM9 MCU targets developers who need an MCU-like development environment, while benefiting from higher processing and display capabilities of microprocessors for automotive and e-mobility HMI applications. Microchip SAM9X75D5M specifications: CPU subsystem Core - ARM926EJ-S running up to 800 MHz (significant increase from older 400-600MHz variants) 32 KB data cache, 32 KB instruction cache, and Memory Management Unit (MMU). Memory 512 Mbit

🎸 Behold, the quest to run #NAM on a #microchip smaller than your patience! 🤯 Because why not spend hours optimizing code for a digital guitar #pedal that nobody asked for, and that won't make you a rockstar? 🤡 Keep rockin' that embedded hardware, folks! 🎶

Running NAM on Embedded Hardware: What We Learned · TONE3000

We built a NAM loader for the Electrosmith Daisy Seed: an ARM Cortex-M7 board that's become a popular foundation for DSP-based audio products, from eurorack modules to commercial guitar pedals.
