Case in point was a 640x480 LCD ARM (1GHz Cortex A9 Dual Core) based X-Server which was slower than a 400MHZ K6-3 doing the same job which is a 12 year old CPU manufactured on a 250nm process. Just curious, what was this chip exactly? I don't expect ARM to excel in the server role, unless the primary goal is saving power and set up as very dense clusters. In the X client role, I'd expect it to excel. TI's upcoming OMAP4 can drive 3 displays, encode/decode full 1080P, display 1080P video for 10H and audio for 145H, has java acceleration, 3d, dsp, etc. etc. etc. (Similar specs to Tegra2, 'cept TI is actually likely to deliver what they promise.) I'm skipping the already excellent current gen of new smartphones, and holding out for an OMAP4 based one in Nov. or so. fpg
