Hi - so I've gotten to the point where I feel fairly competent with Atmel AVRs (8 bit microcontrollers) - but I'd like to find something with a bit more power. Specifically, I really need a chip that is capable of doing more sophisticated math, ie 16 or 32 bit calculations, multiplication, division, powers, etc. I know some of this can kind of be done on AVRs, but it can't be done well, nor at the speed that I really need. So would anybody have any suggestions as to a logical progression past AVRs would be for me? Perhaps a more advanced microcontroller or microprocessor? Thanks!
