Microchip and Infineon and  will be going toward the ARM Cortex parts,
likely from ST, although you can also get them from many others.  I
highly recommend  the Cortex range of parts.

This is definitely relevant to where I'm at.

Are you able to offer any more info on why the decision to switch to ST was made?

The project I'm researching is looking at ARM Cortex parts from Infineon (XMC4500) and ST (STM32F407xxx).

Thanks,

Justin
