Remember that it makes a difference whether the market share is
measured in sales dollars or units. The price of the average
embedded CPU is probably 25X-50X smaller than the cost of the
"main" CPU in a desktop system. That changes the numbers a
little.

I would guess that the price of the average embedded processor
is around $0.10. The average price for an embedded processor
is likely in the $0.30 to $0.50 range.

The number of single function processors being designed in now is
huge.
