Yes, these chips are not going away any time soon. The number of chips being
made with 6502 based cores has increased every year since the 80s. But the
problem with the chips isn't just that they are slow.
I'm not seeing 6502, but I am seeing a lot of 8051.
I think in the IoT space, we will need to have signed software
updates. I don't think there is much of an issue taking several
seconds to verify an update signature, but these 8 bit
processors seem like the right level of hardware for these IoT devices.
