Im not totally disagreeing, but I don't think there is a whole lot of difference between the A15's and the A9's though, after you add the A9 bugfixes. They have 4 processors instead of two, shrink the die, and make the chip so you can up the voltage on it (ie 1.5Mhz for low power cell phones, 2.5Mhz for workstations/servers) and add the ability to use both ddr3 lowE and regular sdram.(ddr3 ecc?) They were talking about starting to ship about a year or so behind the A9's which are pretty much on time. _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
