100's of newly opened niches
I think so. For example you could design your own small peripheral chips. Of course you can do that with a Tiny as well but this has more grunt.
The other day we had someone wanting 12 (I think) hardware serial ports. We suggested UARTs and co-processors, but the only real co-processor option was the Tiny2313 because the other small chips don't have UARTs, or I2C or real SPI.
This would have been a good option.
