Hi, thought this might be interesting for those that are using ARM in MCU related applications. They are continuing to upgrade their cores and making it more difficult to not use ARM :-) Saw it here while browsing. http://mcu-related.com/ An Schwob

OK, the floating point was mentioned in the link, not in the posts so it was probably an honest mistake. An Schwob

We tend to use the PowerPC/SHARC families because of HW floating point requirements in most of products, SW emulated FP is too slow. Cortex M4 sounds like a new choice for us, to look into anyway.
