I was looking for a general purpose Cortex-M4 microcontroller for an automation project.
After a quick search in Farnell's site I noticed that some Microchip's micontrollers are rather cheap from STMicroelectronic's chips.
To be exact:
I found ATSAM4S4C at 2.57 GBP at 100 pieces. Which is powerfull enough with plenty RAM and FLASH memories.

I also found the STM32F303RDT6 at 3.01 GBP at 100 pieces. Which is slightly expensive.

The question is what is the difference between Microchip's ATSAM and STM's STM32 microcontrollers and why someone would choose the one instead of the other?
