I wrote about this earlier on Carrypad but the press release that has just been issued by ARM has some aggressive wording that I’d like to relay here in order to stir up another great Intel vs ARM conversation.
If you use an expression like ‘Visually Stunning Mobile Internet Devices’ you’re not exactly hiding your intentions are you. All the evidence so far points to the Intel Silverthorne and ARM Cortex A8 as being in the same ballpark as far as raw processing power is concerned but you can be sure that what you see at the Mobile Word Congress from ARM will be a lot smaller, a lot lighter, have better battery life, will including voice and 3.5G data capability and may even be cheaper than any Intel MIDS. Will ARM step in and steal the show or will this just be a demonstration of 2009 technology. Will the software (rumored to be Android) enable a rich-enough user experience or will Ubuntu Mobile take the crown?
“ARM will be showing advanced technology enabling the “Full Web in Your Pocket” experience”
ARM vs Cortex, Ubuntu Mobile Vs Android. Its going to be a VERY interesting Mobile World Conference.
For more information on the CPU line-ups from Intel, VIA and ARM, take a look at the CPU overview article I posted last week.
