This doesn’t hold true to the newest generation of Arduino, as those board have replaced the FTDI chip with an ATmega8U2. That’s basically and ATmega8 with native USB handling… fancy.

The chip also introduces other enhancements. Compared with Arduino’s previous-generation chip, the amount of onboard SRAM cache in the Uno R4 has been increased from 2 kilobytes to 32 kilobytes.

Arduino devices historically used 8-bit Atmega microcontroller chips from Atmel, processors that are very limited by today's standards and that run low-level software for AVR-architecture chips.
