Hi Guys,
Tried to google it - but no joy.
Is there anywhere on the net I can get the rankings for the last couple of years?
Thanks in advance.

What is it you really want to know ?

Who is No. 1 (and No. 6)

Not much use. I know who No 6 is, but never really worked out who was No 1.

I attended the Microchip MASTERs conferences in 2003 and 2004, at which they prominently displayed their rankings, and I believe they had achieved #1. That information should be on their website somewhere. I remember seeing a chart of their increasing ranking over the ten years or so they have been a player. Also try the websites of their competitors, such as Atmel.

I'd be interested to know too. Microchip proudly claimed #1 in volume for a few years from early 2000 onwards, haven't heard anything in recent years though, Atmel were gaining fast on them a few years back. I believe Microchip pipped Motorola who lead for many years.

I don't know of any. There are various charts showing past and projected markets split up in a couple different ways (4-bit vs 8-bit vs 16-bit vs 32-bit vs 64-bit for example, although realistically those are largely orthogonal markets!)
And ranking the different markets will present some categorizing problems. There are a bazillion different chips evolved from the 8051 or with 8051 cores, how do you rank those, as 8051's, or as different products by different manufacturers? Some chips like Microchip's PIC's are single-sourced, others are far more generic and sourced from many different manufacturers? And do you want it by total dollar sales which will emphasize "heavy" microcontrollers that cost a lot of money? Or by total unit sales in which case some Chinese or Taiwanese or Korean
4-bit microcontroller that you never even knew existed will be the clear winner?And given all those ways of asking the question, you know that every answer is going to choose the interpretation that the presenter makes the most $ by presenting!

Yeah... I though it was a BS ending at the time, and my opinion hasn't changed since.
