At the time they were the most powerful arm socs and were found on the high end pocket pcs and other embedded hardware. At some point intel decided that they didn't want to produce ARM anymore and sold the XScale stuff to Marvell who now produce the powerful armada ARM socs.

You’re right, I would have known this if I had thought of XScale. At some point I was going to comment that ARM is not one processor, it’s a collection of them, but I got sidetracked.

X-Scale (and derivatives) is pretty weak actually and use non-standard vector extensions.

In any case the newer armada 600 chips are real beasts (it appears that the armada chips are not derivatives of Xscale). Then again just about any arm V7 chip these days is pretty much a beast, only thing lacking when competing with the likes of intel is out-of-order execution which is coming in the cortex A9.Edited 2011-01-10 01:31 UTC Mon, 10 Jan 2011 01:29:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (_txf_) Comments RE: 1994?

I guess the device mentioned in the podcast is this ?:

The problem is interfaces.

You have all these operating systems which are made for touchscreens, like iOS, Android and so on. Some don't fit well on larger touchscreens yet, but they are still evolving.

And other 'older' operating systems which are made for keyboard/mouse use.

But when you have a device which is a touchscreen with a keyboard, is their an OS which has an interface which fits both use cases (yet) ?

As a webdeveloper I would say: HTML5 already fits that bill ;-) But maybe I'm just seeing the same nails, because I mostly work with the same hammer.Edited 2011-01-10 11:10 UTC Mon, 10 Jan 2011 11:07:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Lennie) Comments Servers and ARM http://www.osnews.com/thread?456766 http://www.osnews.com/thread?456766 Existing systems run on existing servers, new applications and deployments can run on less power hungry ARM-servers.

Even with virtualization, ARM won't run x86.

Not to worry though, there is a huge corpus of server applications for which the source code is readily available, and already ported to ARM.

but with 99% of the smartphone/tablet vendors building the same SOC out of different buildungblocks it begs the question if 2-3 optimised SOCs wouldn't be the better solution Mon, 10 Jan 2011 18:00:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (smashIt) Comments sarl http://www.osnews.com/thread?456836 http://www.osnews.com/thread?456836 @Thom: that acronym exists in French: "société à responsabilité limitée".

I've managed (unless Civ4+civ5 through wine counts)

I hate the company so much - I can't think of anything that have actually innovated - except WGA

(I used to have a non crashing word processor for the Amiga in 1986 - it took Microsoft until 2001 and it was slow and expensive)

My computing life has been so much better without the destroyer of innovation. Wed, 12 Jan 2011 16:18:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (yossarianuk) Comments RE: I have a better idea http://www.osnews.com/thread?457383 http://www.osnews.com/thread?457383
