Im curious to know what everyone's thought is on 16/32 Bit microcontrollers in the embedded world (ie Like PIC). As a Hobbyist, 8 Bit seems Fine enough, but 16 Bit is becoming cheaper than 8 in some cases. I cant seem to figure out a use for 16/32 bit Micro's in the hobby realm, as they have most of the peripherals that 8 bit has, just with more performance.
I have the Microstick II that I have been "dabbling" with, which came with a 32 Bit Micro in a DIP package! I wonder if 32 Bit Micro's can handle Floating Point Data...
