"If AMD were serious about competing in the PDA market, why not go for an ARM core, since the industry is rapidly moving in that direction?" There is more to the market than PDAs. Even now, 2.5G and 3G phones is a bigger market. There is very little reason to standardize on a particular architecture like ARM or MIPS right now, other factors are more important. The low-powered handheld market is just beginning, it's a long way from being an established market, much less the point of anointing winners and trashing losers. I personally like ARMs for a number of reasons, but many of them border on personal taste rather than any real technical reasons. For example, I like the conditional execution of any instruction, and the ability to do a barrel shift at the same time is a bonus... And the embedded market in general is bracing for an explosion. Before too much longer there is going to be an enormous amount of CPU power hiding in walls and equipment, all networked together. XScale and Alchemy class devices are going to have a unit volume that exceeds desktop processors in another few more years.
