The thing is, the actual performance achieved in your actual system probably depends far more on the nature of your particular application than any figure that any manufacturer can quote!

Hello,

I think you also posted on a newsgroup about this.

On this page there are benchmark results on various architectures, including STM8 and MSP430.

http://chibios.sourceforge.net/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=chibios:metrics

Note that the benchmarks are not optimized for the STM8 architecture because zero page variables are not used, it is generic code, in real world applications the STM8 would perform even better by optimizing the code to use page zero variables.

About 16 bits arithmetics, it is not a problem on the STM8 because the architecture supports operations on 16 bits registers so it performs better in that area than pure 8bits architectures.

best regards,

Giovanni
