The new STM32C0 series comes to complete the STM32 Mainstream MCUs portfolio.
The STM32C0 series is the most cost-effective STM32 MCU. It bridges the gap between 8- or 16-bit MCUs and higher performance 32-bit MCUs. Built on the same technological platform as the STM32G0, the STM32C0 ensures you reduce costs without impacting design quality and reliability.
The STM32C0 series offers up to 32 Kbytes of flash memory and 6 to 12 Kbytes of RAM. It comes in a variety of 8- to 48-pin packages (UFQFPN20 available), down to 1.70 x 1.42 mm (tiniest package over all STM32 products with WLSCP12).
You can find more details about this product in Your next 8-bit MCU is a 32-bit. It’s called STM32C0! - STMicroelectronics.

Hi Simon,
Thanks for the clarification.
You might've said so directly. We are engineers, we don't care about fluffy words but facts.
I had a look at the DISCOs. To be honest, they are lame, sorry. For example. why using proprietary LCD on the "little" one, why not a standard HD44780-compatible, with as standard pinout as possible, to maximize the chance of it working with whatever spare we have in our drawer? There's also no noteworthy perk on the "bigger" one.
The point of the DISCOs would be to make us to to do impulse purchase, play with them a little, and then put them on the shelf with the feeling of "oh now I know what this line is about". Without any such perk (or with the perk requiring me to purchase extra parts and not-that-usual headers/cables/etc), I just skip. And so will other users.
I know you hand them out at seminars and trade shows, but that's not the same thing, by far not. Buying one is an entirely different thrill and makes an entirely different impact. I understand that this all is hard to convey to the marketing folks, but I thought Discos are made by engineers. And here we arrive at this:
which makes me even less willing to buy one, leaving a bad aftertaste instead (especially during an introductory period). (We'd need to discuss your whole "store" too, but that's for another day.)
Discos used to be a vital part of the STM32 success, but since the overcomplicated Discos of cca the 'F7, you've sort of lost it.
Btw the naming scheme omitting the "DISCO" word makes them hard to find/separate in the various webstores.
