We all know (and love?) ARM as the company which focusses on licensing designs for power-efficient yet still powerful processors, mostly used in embedded devices. The Cambridge company has been looking to expand into the netbook market, and has now announced a new step in this process with a number of new multicore Cortex-A9 designs.

What I'd be interested in would be a reallife test. Let someone do "common" tasks for different user groups (e.g. office users have different tasks than programmers) and see how far they will get, how long it takes etc.
I really think that ARM is on the right track, the energy-saving track. E.g. looking at my AMD cpu, it runs 90% of the time at the lowest frequence (800 Mhz), saving a lot of power and ARM's technology would most likely be even more efficient.
Now if only graphic vendors followed that track ...
