It seems that after Intel, just about every chip maker wants a piece of the netbook pie. AMD is an obvious competitor, but VIA is also eyeing the little notebooks. However, more exotic options like the Chinese Loongson chips and ARM's Cortex A-8 and A-9 chips are also among the contenders. We can now add a new contender: Freescale.

And how many netbooks shipping today or this year actually are non-x86? So far, ARM and Freescale have done a lot of talking, but little releasing.
So far, it makes zero sense for any software company to invest time in non-x86 netbooks.
