Now, a little personal background for this next one so you can appreciate how boggled my mind is: my first personal computer had an eight-bit processor running at 3.5MHz. My first IBM compatible had an eight-bit chip running at a whopping 9.54MHz.
#STMicroelectronics has just announced an 800MHz *microcontroller*, the STM32V8 - its most powerful STM32 yet. And, yes, way faster than my old PCs' CPUs. Huh.
