missing the point a bit, by that time intel will be offering two for the price of one, a mobile pc and phone in a single device well arm are still only able to offer a mobile phone, it wont be one laptop per child, it will be one Intel based MID per child, these devices will completely undermine the traditional old mobile phone oem’s

Intel is targetting mainstream smartphons with MedField. Timeframe is 2011. http://bit.ly/Mtosv

As it stands right now, Intel’s platform has much more to improve than ARMs simply because of the lack of integration on current generation devices. Sure, ARM will progress, but they are showing off the best. It’ll be a little while before Intel goes full SoC and it’ll be more comparable.

I agree with you, Chippy, that now software is bigger issue (even than power consumption of Menlow platform)

I’m inspired by Menlow. Moorestown is a far future. First MID’s on Moorestown will be in late 2010 (1,5 year to wait)
Can Menlow-based MID weight 250gm?

By 2011 the ARM based processors will have probably have moved the goalposts.

Another thing, it’s one thing having a CPU available by 2011, it’s another thing totally to get a phone released using it in a similar time frame. It would be more like 2012 before any smartphone product were available (especially in the USA).

For a smartphone, it’s the rest of the SOC which provides the usability. Without an efficient GPU and video encoder/decoder the X86 CPU is going to be doing a lot of heavy lifting. Once you’re in the smartphone area I don’t know how much the ability to run X86 code is driving the design decisions.

It’s more interesting for MIDs and UMPCs
