Association for Competitive Technology
As featured on Slashdot, competition among processors that power mobile handsets is heating up.
ARM–whose chips dominate the mobile phone market–announced its smallest, lowers power multicore chip yet. These chips are meant to compete against Intel’s Atom processor (which powers many Netbooks) in the smartphone market.
As users look to their iPhone, Blackberry, Android or Windows Mobile device to do more, processors need to keep up. Faster processors allow software developers to create more useful applications. It’s a sort of symbiotic relationship — hardware advancements, driven by increased competition, means more software innovation!
