104: Only the Paranoid Survive
Atmel's Andreas Eieland (@AndreasMCUguy) spoke with us about low power chips and benchmarks, including tips for measuring and achieving the lowest power possible.
EEMBC has a low power benchmark: ULPBench. EETimes wrote up a great introduction to the benchmark. Atmel's SAM-L posted some excellent numbers for ULPBench.
Chris wanted to look at processors between Cortex-M4 and phone chips. Andreas suggested the SAM7, SAM E, and Cortex-A5.
