Absolutely. You could define some arbitrary lines here, but why?
8018x - Microcontroller
There are full-blown MS-DOS PCs built around these.
Some (all?) IBM Xstations (sold alongside RS/6000 installs) were 80186 - not exactly high performance workstations, but I think the only place I've personally seen a '186 in the wild. I trash-picked older RS/6000s to replace these rather terrible machines. ;)
68HC11 - Microcontroller (I have the A0 which has the ROM disabled)
Glad this got mentioned only because it is still a favorite of mine. Maybe I'll try to hack a bus together between a Raspberry Pi, my SYM-1, and one of my 68HC11 EVBs. </troll> -- Jameel Akari
