Could you explain the significance difference between the SA1110 and XSCALE and why a company would use the latter but not the former. I'm clueless. Zack

For those who don't know, Intel and DEC were involved in a patent violation suit a few years ago. DEC claimed Intel have violated their patents and in the settlement Intel essentially took DEC to the cleaners. Intel paid DEC a few hundred Million $$ and in return Intel got a large DEC fab and development center in Hudson Mass, plus engineering staff and office buildings, a test floor and a number of product lines. Foremost were a number of integrated StrongArm designs and the SA license itself. Additionally Intel got some communications devices, PCI to PCI bridges etc and another significant product the IXP1200 network processor. All these products were designed on DEC design tools and produced in the former DEC Fab on DEC's process. XScale is the Intel in house version. Intel design tools, Intel process. Intel promises a major performance boost.
