Waiting for ARM Cortex A9 by: Anonymous on 7/22/2009
The second generation will be extremely compelling chips, that goes without saying. Dual or Quad A9s + excellent graphics power.

The first generation has barely come out sadly. An announcement 18 months ago doesn't mean it's been out 18 months, which the article suggests.

The graphics look a lot more potent than the low-end SGX in the Pre and iPhone 3GS, but Imagination also have higher-end offerings that will surely be utilised in next year's offerings. I don't know what the power trade-off with NVIDIA's graphics are compared to Imagination, but the latter are really really low power, for phone use.

I can understand why NVIDIA is hinging on this product line for the future. As netbooks become 'appliances' rather than computers, it won't matter if they're x86, and the ARM ecosystem is ahead by far in terms of everything else.
ARM to the rescue by: Anonymous on 7/22/2009
Looking forward to ARM-based systems taking x86 out of the way. If only Nvidia could've worked out a deal with Nokia, and maintained ARM in those devices instead of Intel's Atom -- though I believe Intel saw the writing on the wall and subsidized heavily to get their foot in that door.

C'mon ARM! Beat x86!
