   Hi Eric,

   The video clip is not displayed properly on my browser, not sure if it works on others’ …

   Hum~ mobile computing & Internet TV(STB), I am eager to see your updates for these HOT topics.

   All, I have confirmed that the video works via a number of browsers. If it doesn’t work for you, please shoot me an email with your config to the address embedded in the header text. Thanks, Eric.

   Dear All,
   You can also see some more press releases that Katie Morgan from ARM compiled in a blog
   http://blogs.arm.com/arm-events/arm-arm-community-ces-2010-final-press-coverage/

   Really an impressive year which hopefully will make more people realise where ARM IP actually is…
   Regards, Alban

   Hi Eric
   It has been my intention to thank you for the video link showing the Atom/Cortex-A9 comparison for the past few weeks. The voice sounds very familiar

   In the video it states it is in dual-core configuration. Does that mean it was a quad-core chip, with two cores effectively switched off? Perhaps you cannot say, which is understandable. I just found it intriguing.

   I am interesting in learning more about the embedded market. Do you know of any good web sites/documents that would be of use?

   Hi ARMnews,

   Thanks for the thanks – much appreciated and glad to hear folks find the video intriguing. I’ll be posting again after Apple has their event next week.

   I can’t really comment too much on the specifics of the chip. NEC has had a quad core ARM11MPCore for some time now (and they were a lead licensee of the Cortex-A9), Marvell has their own quad, and you’ll see more SMP press soon – so lots of MP product is in play.

   Regarding your question around embedded – it is such a huge term that I don’t know where to start. Are you after the technical side, the commercial side, a particular application, HW, SW, etc. Give me some more detail and I’ll point you where I can.

   Regards, Eric.

   As an complete beginner to the embedded market I wish to gain an insight into the technical side. I want to understand the technical factors that drive the embedded market for no specific application or sub-class of the market. From this, I am sure will drive a better understanding of the economics that come into play.

   Apple has proved to be a catalyst for ARM adoption at key points in ARM’s history:
   1) When ARM Holdings first became a subsiduary of Acorn
   2) When Apple released the iPhone
   3) and perhaps again with the Apple tablet

   If the product is sucessful, I am sure it will drive other companies to launch ARM based MIDs too, marking 2010 as the year that ARM gained a foothold in the mobile computing market. Customer recognition of ARM’s brand could well soar.

   Anyway, many thanks in advance.
   Kind regards

   Hi ARMnews,

   The embedded market (even just the technical aspects) is so huge that I am unsure where to start. Perhaps attending a trade show such as Embedded World or Embedded Systems Conference would give you a broad view from which you could start deep-diving. Have a look at some of the product brochures and datasheets from our silicon vendor partners – certainly many important parts are highlighted early. There is also a linked-in “ARM Based Group” that might have some material and be able to answer questions. Hope this helps…

   Regards, Eric.
