Pretty impressive! I guess, chip designs don't count, not being "actual computers". Then ARM would definitely lead. :-) Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann Dept. of Computer Science University of Waikato, NZ +64 (7) 858-5174 http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ http://www.data-mining.co.nz/

ARM would definitely lead on what? Three or four years ago I read the statistic that more ARM CPUs are sold in a year than the total number of Intel CPUs that have been sold in the whole lifetime of Intel! Cheers Michael.

More ARM CPUs are sold each year than the entire population of the Earth.

And the BBC lives up to its legendary impartiality <http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-37305200>: Although the Raspberry Pi has been used in many schools, it was more complicated for children to get to grips with than the BBC Micro Bit, argued Bethany Koby, co-founder of education-focused start-up Technology Will Save Us, which helped design the BBC's device.
