Re: PIC vs AVR vs ARM

As I said, depending on your application this may be important.


My experience is that it does not really matter which core to select. All brands offer approximately same performance for the similar price. What does matter when selecting the MCU is if it has the peripherals needed by the application.

ARMs are mainly the CPUs rather then the MCUs.
AVR peripherals are only fair.
PIC peripherals are great, albeit the PIC core is disgusting.
