The only advantage I see x86 having is being able to run desktop software. But do we really want desktop software on our smartphones and mp3 players?

Bring on the ARM netbooks...]]>Oct 21st 2009 10:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/Oct 21st 2009 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/Oct 21st 2009 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/
Nobody's going to claim that an ARM CPU and GPU is more powerful than a Core 2 Duo and nVidia desktop graphics chip, but it's incredible what you can achieve with well-optimized software versus just throwing faster and faster hardware at the problem.]]>Oct 21st 2009 8:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/Oct 21st 2009 8:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/Oct 21st 2009 8:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/Oct 21st 2009 8:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/
The rumour on the street is that the second generation Tegra will be a dual core Cortex A9 with twice the memory bandwidth:

Now that sounds tasty, but then we've also seen dual core 1GHz+ Marvell, OMAP 4 and Snapdragon chips announced for next year and, since it's ARM we're talking about, you can include lots of other companies in there too as being likely to bring out similar products (Freescale, Broadcom, Mediatek, Samsung, Infineon, ST-Ericsson and so on)... PLUS there's whatever Intel / AMD come up with to retaliate!

I think we're in for a really good few years for gadgets - competition is good :)]]>Oct 21st 2009 9:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/
Oh, and you can absolutely guarantee that the cost per unit for ARM / PowerVR's solutions will be much less than NVIDIA's.]]>Oct 21st 2009 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/fanboi... I hate ya...

I was like that about Tegra till I saw how fast Snapdragon performs, now I don't care which one it is, I just want it cheap. Dirt-cheap no-stuttering mobile phone with wide multimedia capabilities, including 720p recording at 30+fps, 1080p playback, HDMI-out, 30+ hours of music playback, instant loading of gallery, stutter-free slide show. Tegra, Snapdragon, Cortex A8 - I don't give a damn.

PS: I'm still Nvidia fan when it comes to GPUs!]]>Oct 21st 2009 9:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/Oct 21st 2009 8:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/
It's been *more* than possible to do full-3D interfaces like this for a LONG time, we haven't done it because it sucks.]]>Oct 21st 2009 2:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/Oct 21st 2009 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/Oct 21st 2009 8:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/Oct 21st 2009 8:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/Oct 21st 2009 9:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.arm.com/news/21889.html]]>Oct 21st 2009 9:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/Oct 22nd 2009 7:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/Oct 21st 2009 9:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/Oct 21st 2009 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/Oct 21st 2009 9:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/Oct 21st 2009 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/Oct 21st 2009 10:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/I was interested in what you had to say until you started spouting iphone nonsense....]]>Oct 21st 2009 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/Oct 21st 2009 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/Oct 21st 2009 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/Oct 21st 2009 3:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/Oct 21st 2009 7:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/Oct 21st 2009 3:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/21/arm-shows-off-its-mali-mobile-processors-with-impressive-3d-demo/Oct 21st 2009 4:13PM
