This 2GHz ARM CPU is aimed at smartbooks and smartphones. The most exciting point to note is that this powerful CPU consumes just 0.5w even while running at its peak.ARM actually wanted its speedy cortex CPU to battle against the Intel Atom CPU which are used in most of the netbooks. Sadly, Microsoft has no plans to port it to the ARM platform. Call it fortunate or unfortunate, you will be stucked with Linux powered smartbooks. Do not get us wrong. We love Linux, especially Ubuntu, but majority of the people find Windows OS more gratifying.I feel acutely that Microsoft should consider porting Windows 7 (or atleast Windows XP) to ARM architecture. This would enable manufactures to make phones and ARM-based MIDs run desktop operating systems like Windows XP/7 or even Mac OS X.]]> http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/2ghz-arm-cortex-a9-chip-coming-to-the-linux-device-near-you/feed/ 2 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/atom-n470-1-83ghz-to-be-launched-in-q1-2010/ http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/atom-n470-1-83ghz-to-be-launched-in-q1-2010/#comments Wed, 09 Sep 2009 18:36:27 +0000 Twinkle http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=8863 Pine Trail/Pine View will make its debut next year. Now, we have come to know that Atom N470 processor, a pineview CPU that runs at 1.83GHz clock speed is coming in Q1 2010.Please note that this is still a single-core processor and we will wait for quite some time for Intel to announce dual core processors for its netbooks. The CPU itself has 6.5W TPD which is more than double more compared to N270 1.6GHz Atom, but you have to remember that Atom N470 has 200MHz IGP integrated and the TDP is now calculated for both chips]]> http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/atom-n470-1-83ghz-to-be-launched-in-q1-2010/feed/ 0 http://gadgetmix.com/sponsor/nvidia-launches-g210-another-40nm-chip-directx-101-compatible/ http://gadgetmix.com/sponsor/nvidia-launches-g210-another-40nm-chip-directx-101-compatible/#comments Sat, 11 Jul 2009 19:14:48 +0000 Peter http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=6556 http://gadgetmix.com/sponsor/nvidia-launches-g210-another-40nm-chip-directx-101-compatible/feed/ 3 http://gadgetmix.com/nettop/shuttle-via-powered-nettop-es-series/ http://gadgetmix.com/nettop/shuttle-via-powered-nettop-es-series/#comments Fri, 29 May 2009 20:30:32 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=5673 http://gadgetmix.com/nettop/shuttle-via-powered-nettop-es-series/feed/ 1
