    LOL... Now that IBM has lost the desktop battle, they are going to compete against ARMs & 68K.



    "The 405LP operates at 1 volt to 1.8 V. Carpenter said system designers can choose to vary the frequency of the processor as needed, from a scant 11 MHz to the maximum of 380 MHz."

    I thought I posted this link a few hours ago.... but oh well. I think its amazing that the same architecture can be used for applications ranging from high end graphics workstations to routers and switches to handhelds and cell phones.





    pretty cool

    PDA? The PDA market is floundering. I think we're going to see much more interesting (and useful) devices.
