I'd change a few small things.

"they have ceded dominance of the 8-bit marketplace to Microchip", I'd
insert the words "non-automotive" in front of "8-bit".

...and change to 'dominance by unit volume' - the Revenue stream, and ASP of Freescale's 8 bit uC is well above Microchip's.
Freescale would also be well ahead in uC Pins, and uC Memory yardsticks.
