JohnG: The ARM question is a fascinating one. Look forward to learning more from the experts here. My understanding is that the Q is an ARM licensee. IBM is in the process of using SiGe for the Q's chips, so if anything, IBM has a leg up on INTC as a Q "foundry". But both INTC and IBM has so many strengths that it is almost nitpicking to try to decide which might be ahead re the Q at any given time. And of course the Q keeps complete control from design through testing and marketing the final product. Curious what those with real knowledge think. Chaz

JohnG: re ARM core

QCOM have a license to design the ARM core into their chip.
Their foundries don't require a license to make these chips.
INTC ARM license is irrelevant.

Any large piece of software will run better on ARM than 8086.
It an architectural (i.e.memory access) issue.
