The MSP430 series of 16-bit {{tag|microcontroller}}s from Texas Instruments has been the lowest-power CPU available for many years. | The MSP430 series of 16-bit {{tag|microcontroller}}s from Texas Instruments has been the lowest-power CPU available for many years. | ||
While recently a couple of other companies have introduced a few CPUs that they claim run at slightly less power than the high-end MSP430 chips, many people prefer the relatively clean 16 bit instruction set of the MSP430 and are unconvinced that the MSP430 can be beaten in real low-power applications (rather than artificial benchmarks). | While recently a couple of other companies have introduced a few CPUs that they claim run at slightly less power than the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.mycaal.com/ <span style="color:black;font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none!important; background:none!important; text-decoration:none;">loan modification</span>] high-end MSP430 chips, many people prefer the relatively clean 16 bit instruction set of the MSP430 and are unconvinced that the MSP430 can be beaten in real low-power applications (rather than artificial benchmarks). | ||
