An anonymous reader writes "Atmel is sampling the first in a new line of 32-bit system-on-chip processors [1] that could spell the death of the venerable 8-bit microcontroller market by offering 32-bit performance at 8-bit pricing. Priced as low as $3 each, the AT91SAM7 chips with ARM7TDMI RISC CPU cores and built-in RAM/flash memory may even be able to run a form of Linux called uClinux [2]. The death of the 8-bit uC market has long been predicted -- sounds like the end is nigh!
