Everyone forgets about embedded systems. When I was still noodling,
there were several RTOSes that were POSIX-certified (QNX and
VxWorks, amongst others). Of course, these ran on the higher end
32-bit MCUs, of which dozens exist in modern cars. That medical

anyone on list know where all the ARM ‘CPUs’ (cores or multi-core
chips?) get used?
ARM, as the licenser, declared it licensed 250B “CPUs” in 2024.
We know 1-2B go into smartphones, perhaps another 250M into PC-like
devices (250M is approx PC market)
Where do the rest go?
I’ve read some HDD’s use ARM processors, so a few billion there perhaps.
