I wonder where Engadget found that eagle image -- it's the EXACT same logo my high school used.

I've always liked TI's chips. I hope they update their BeagleBoard with some of these new processors soon.]]>Aug 10th 2010 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/ti-picks-up-first-license-for-arms-eagle-cpu-core-mass-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/ti-picks-up-first-license-for-arms-eagle-cpu-core-mass-market/
That's the Philadelphia Eagles logo. Have been using it since 1996.

Also, the Snapdragon has the AMD Z430 (the next iteration will have the Z460, which is 4 times as fast) and while it used to be very spectacular, it now is badly outdated.

Compare that to the SGX540, which should be almost as powerful as the Graphics Synthesizer used in the Playstation 2.
And that's not important because the SGX also has unified shaders and modern features the Graphics Synthesizer didn't have.]]>Aug 10th 2010 7:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/ti-picks-up-first-license-for-arms-eagle-cpu-core-mass-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/ti-picks-up-first-license-for-arms-eagle-cpu-core-mass-market/Aug 10th 2010 9:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/ti-picks-up-first-license-for-arms-eagle-cpu-core-mass-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/ti-picks-up-first-license-for-arms-eagle-cpu-core-mass-market/Aug 10th 2010 3:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/ti-picks-up-first-license-for-arms-eagle-cpu-core-mass-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/ti-picks-up-first-license-for-arms-eagle-cpu-core-mass-market/]]>Aug 10th 2010 3:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/ti-picks-up-first-license-for-arms-eagle-cpu-core-mass-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/ti-picks-up-first-license-for-arms-eagle-cpu-core-mass-market/Aug 10th 2010 3:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/ti-picks-up-first-license-for-arms-eagle-cpu-core-mass-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/ti-picks-up-first-license-for-arms-eagle-cpu-core-mass-market/sounds goog to me ;)]]>Aug 10th 2010 3:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/ti-picks-up-first-license-for-arms-eagle-cpu-core-mass-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/ti-picks-up-first-license-for-arms-eagle-cpu-core-mass-market/Aug 10th 2010 3:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/ti-picks-up-first-license-for-arms-eagle-cpu-core-mass-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/ti-picks-up-first-license-for-arms-eagle-cpu-core-mass-market/Aug 10th 2010 4:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/ti-picks-up-first-license-for-arms-eagle-cpu-core-mass-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/ti-picks-up-first-license-for-arms-eagle-cpu-core-mass-market/
Still, for the most users this is probably following: more cores/threads, more instruction-level parallelism, more versatile compiler-exploitable vectorization, higher per-instruction energy efficiency, higher clock rates at lower power thanks to smaller line width, better power saving modes.]]>Aug 10th 2010 4:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/ti-picks-up-first-license-for-arms-eagle-cpu-core-mass-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/ti-picks-up-first-license-for-arms-eagle-cpu-core-mass-market/Aug 10th 2010 7:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/ti-picks-up-first-license-for-arms-eagle-cpu-core-mass-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/ti-picks-up-first-license-for-arms-eagle-cpu-core-mass-market/Aug 10th 2010 7:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/ti-picks-up-first-license-for-arms-eagle-cpu-core-mass-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/ti-picks-up-first-license-for-arms-eagle-cpu-core-mass-market/Aug 10th 2010 10:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/ti-picks-up-first-license-for-arms-eagle-cpu-core-mass-market/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/10/ti-picks-up-first-license-for-arms-eagle-cpu-core-mass-market/Damn! I just bought a Ti-89 -- I should have waited for the upgrade.

I tore apart my Ti-99/4A when I got a Commodore 64 and never put it back together. Wonder what happened to that. I don't remember tossing it ever in a move but it's gone. Still have the Radio Shack Homeminder boxed up in the original packaging which is basically a reskinned Ti99/4A.
