StrongARM already controlling such a large portion of the embedded market

do you have any links to what percentage that is ?

" with StrongARM already controlling such a large portion of the embedded market?"

Wanna, you need to modify your statement to say what you really mean. The embedded market is huge and encompasses everything from single chip processors that cost less than $0.25 each, to Sun boxes used in telco work. An argument can be made that even larger systems can be considered embedded like the ones used for air traffic control. Regardless, StrongARMs do not control a large portion of any of the major divisions of embedded. Not even cellphones...

Automotive electronics are also increasing exponentially. That parket is currently dominated by PowerPC, but the power performance of the StrangArm XScale might allow it to capture some designs there in the future. That in itself would be a larger market than the current PDA market (and design wins woiuld likely have a longer shelf life).

Possibly AMD is going after that sort of market as well, where compatibility per se is not that important.
