I am interested in finding the specifications of the world's lowest power 8-bit microcontroller(s). There are no particular limitations on the clock speed, memory size, GPIO, peripherals, etc. since I am just looking for information for comparison. Please forward the titles or direct links to any specifications or research publications about the record holding microcontroller for any of these categories: lowest dynamic power, lowest leakage power, highest MIPS/W, or similar. Up to date results only please.

Well it may not suit your requirement as they are 16-bit but you can check them
Texas Instrumnets MSP430 and more recently**broken link removed**
they are low powered but 16-bit MCU.
 

Yeah, the reason I need 8-bit is because we've implemented an ultra-low-power 8-bit MCU and we need to know how it compares to the lowest power MCUs since we would ultimately like to publish our results. Ours is certainly lower power than the MSP430, but directly comparing an 8-bit MCU to an 16-bit MCU just wouldn't be fair.

check this , this and this

I hope the links will be of your interest, specially Lapis and STM8 are good in my view.
