else, so x86 is going to have to fight for it's survival |

BINGO! Arm can be built via most any process or on top of a FPGA. |
| 15 |
Arm Ltd licenses the processors for CHEAP! |
| 16 |
Arm is the KING in the lowest heat produced per MIP/MOP/whatever, |
| 17 |
except for a select few DSPs on certain solutions. |
| 18 |
You can mix or match SIMD, MIMD or any other type of processor |
| 19 |
onto the substrate of your choice and ARM LTD does not care. |
| 20 |
Try that with TI, Intel, Freescale, Microchip, AMD or any other |
| 21 |
big silicon processor design owners. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
All sorts of Linux (embedded through distros) run on a wide variety |
| 24 |
of Arm platforms. The biggest embedded OS vendor (Wind River) is |
| 25 |
doing about 95% of their business on embedded Linux. Arm is KING |
| 26 |
in the embedded world. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
AMD has annouced their building next gen products on Arm with their |
| 29 |
AMD buss technologies. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Arm is WAY FAR MORE FLEXIBLE than any other processor out their. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Will x86 Die? No, but the game is ARM. (Period) Over. EVERYBODY |
| 34 |
is doing ARM. INTEL is a bunch of assholes in the the embedded |
| 35 |
world. Been there (i960) done that and left Intel decades ago |
| 36 |
as have most innovators. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Companies such as TI (OMAP-5) are busy rolling out Arm15 products. |
| 39 |
The will not even sell the latest (hotest) Arm chips to anyone, |
| 40 |
because they are building a myriad of new products, direct to |
| 41 |
consumer and companies...... (oh yea remember TI has a variety |
| 42 |
of chips, processors, DSP, video and other technologies and |
| 43 |
ARM hybrids at TI (Omap-5) are the hotest new areas inside |
| 44 |
of TI. TI is not alone in the ARM conquest..... |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
I could go on for millions of pages of dead wreakage in the ARM |
| 47 |
wake, but that's pointless, it pretty much understood. You gonna |
| 48 |
put an Intel chip into robotics that go to Mars? Don't think so..... |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
I look for Microsoft to purchase AMD and build their own boxes, |
| 52 |
like Apple. Microsoft is the biggest looser in this ARM take all |
| 53 |
world................... Folks will survive, but the future is |
| 54 |
now and it is ARM. Crap you can run Ubuntu on ARM now: |
