@Motlee I was wondering the same thing. Had a little snafu remembering my password and I got beaten to the punch. Is this true, though? If it's the same chip, it seems like Apple would have acquired it awhile ago to integrate it into the iPad, but Samsung was just showing it off. Did they get a license to it before Apple bought Intrinsity, and will we see that Hummingbird design in any other phones, I wonder?

Isn't the new Samsung 1Ghz Cortex A8 called Hummingbird too? Is it the same?
@brilliantcorner Chip was designed by Intrinsity, built by Samsung and aquired by Apple.
