No, not just A-15 but also A-12 [1] (not out yet) and the A-7 does too. > However a $45 option *is* good for people on limited budgets or people > who want to play with ARM but don't care about virtualization. Different people have different priorities I don't see a reason to limit it. The Cortex-A7 [2] SoC design also supports HW virt and the AllWinner A20 is that SoC so in theory should support it as well as well and we're starting to see that out on the market, but the kernel support not yet supported upstream though but it's around $59 Peter [1] http://www.arm.com/products/processors/cortex-a/cortex-a12-processor.php [2] http://www.arm.com/products/processors/cortex-a/cortex-a7.php -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
