9. Be descriptive with the title of new threads. Do not start a thread called "Guess what..." and then use the text portion of the post to explain, give your post a headline. This courtesy is especially appreciated in the more highly trafficked forums.
Is this to be used in a new PDA?
2. Half yes, half no.
Half new, half old.

Descriptive titles? What about descriptive posts? I have no idea what's going on. Who cares about AMD strongarm and what's it mean to me?
2) AirPort chews batteries.
So what we have here is a fairly efficient processor that builds wireless networking into an extremely popular, powerful embedded/handheld platform that Apple has extensive experience with.
It's a great little chip to power a Digital Hub-savvy Apple gadget, in short. Maybe it will appear in Apple's answer to the MS tablet (which might not be a tablet itself)? Or something else?
An interesting read, to say the least.

<strong>I'm so divided. Should I keep this here since it's Future Hardware, or should I move it to the Digital Hub? Decisions, decisions.

If you want to add something, then add it. Otherwise keep reading along like the rest of us.
All we need is an inappropriate "IBL" from that liability, groverat...
Anyways, why the 'January...' reference? Just a guess, since AMD says they're only now being to sample this new chip?
My b-day's in Feb, so here's to expectations...

What is this "Apple" of which you speak?
<strong>1) ARM is probably the king of the embedded chip space. It's more of a reference platform than a particular line of processors, though. Newtons used StrongARM processors. Palm is migrating to ARM processors (from Mot's 68K-derived DragonBall) now as well.

Amorph,
I'm not sure I follow... Given what you say about the ARM palm et-al (oh yea iPod too) then why would this be good news?
AMD doesn't own the ARM (Intel does) and uless this AMD chip is an 'arm clone+wifi' then Palm and Apple wouldn't move to it would they? If Palm already invested in the move to ARM and Apple is clearly invested with the iPod a move to something new would be a longshot.
(lemme read that article again... maybe I'm missing something)

On a slightly more serious note, perhaps this is the source of the "Apple Goes With AMD" rumors? Maybe Apple really IS going with AMD, just not for desktop processors?
It would tie up a few loose ends, anyway. People hear "Apple using AMD processors" and immediately assume it is for their desktops. Lots of other devices use processors, too.

I nearly split a gut reading that one. Thank you.

the sound is the nail being hit on the head.
