Google "intel embedded discontinued"

Moto manufactured the 6800 for over 20 years. The 68332 is still in production after about 20 years.

Moto was a dedicated embedded maker too. They didn't have "PC innovation needs" at their heels.

They had mil folks, etc. at their heels, and they wanted hardware to operate, not a PC.

Moto clearly had more expertise at it.

They also heavily promoted a Mobile Pentium chip for embedded apps, and then cancelled it just before production.
