Hardware, Embedded Systems "AMD's fab spinoff, GlobalFoundries, has announced a deal with ARM to make the latter's Cortex A9 parts available on the former's 28nm half-node process. This makes GlobalFoundries the first company to work with ARM on a 28nm A9 implementation, and it's a win for ARM because it makes any GlobalFoundries customers into potential ARM customers."

ARM already dominates mobile processors, if you mean phones and the like. should be interesting to see if anyone comes out with a real netbook that runs arm, instead of some tiny useless "smartbooks". what I would really like to see, personally, is some mini itx boards (complete with sata!) available for home builders. that would rock,
