Paul, re: Intel Windows CE processor ???

Seems this deal has more angles than a geodesic dome. Intel has been stymied trying to shoehorn x86 into the handheld market. ARM has been the leader for years in this nascent market. StrongARM is the best performing version of ARM in today's PDA market. StrongARM may also work for an Intel NC box if the world ever comes to this.

"So if you can't beat 'um, join 'um". This maxium seems to swing both ways with this deal! DEC saves face in workstations and joins the Intel bandwagon. Intel gets a chance to play in the PDA market with a winning solution.

Too bad this is all breaking this week. In an normal world this news alone would add three points to INTC.

Digital deal includes Strongarm chips

BOSTON, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Digital Equipment Corp (DEC) Chief Executive Robert Palmer said on Monday that its Strongarm microprocessor technology is included in the broad deal announced with Intel Corp (INTC).

"It is our intention that the Strongarm product and the design engineers associated with that will become part of Intel," Palmer told analysts and reporters on a conference call.

Digital's Strongarm chips were designed to offer high performance to low-power consumption products such as portable devices and Internet
appliances.
