You'd actually be surprised at how untrue this is. There are tons of
devices out there still using 8- and 16-bit processors (or no processors
at all!) What's happening is that these low-end systems are getting
installed into smaller and smaller devices. So yes, if you look at a
particular device (e.g. cell phone) it's getting more powerful every
year. However soon our light bulbs will be "smart".
So let's not assume that these low-end processors are going away, please?
