What version of ARM is Microsofts baseline going to be? http://windows8news.com/2011/01/05/windows-8-arm-press-release-microsoft/ "Microsoft demonstrated the next version of Windows running on new SoC platforms from Intel running on x86 architecture and from NVIDIA, Qualcomm and Texas Instruments on ARM architecture." "The technology demonstration included Windows client support across a range of scenarios, such as hardware-accelerated graphics and media playback, hardware-accelerated Web browsing ..." I'm guessing since it is windows 8, it will be the A15's. (I don't think they will release 8 completely in the next year or so anyway.) Do all of these have GPGPU's (tegra2, omap4, snapdragon) too? _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
