Muzosi, Re: "buying a processor, designed by one company implemented by yet another, with all the engineers who implemented it doesn't impress me to be frank. arm isa is a very nice design and it stands on its own. the only success intel had was making incremental designs in a market where they have a monopoly. they have tried new isas before and failed miserably. this time it's a little different in the sense that they got the architecture from someone else and they don't seem to mind losing tons of money for a long time. we'll see if it succeeds." I see it takes a lot to impress you. I'm wondering what your opinion of AMD's technology is, since they've never had success on something with their own ISA in the mainstream markets before. They've only managed to do what you call "incremental designs" with architectures that they've acquired from someone else. Of course, I don't look at it that way, but if success comes from proliferating an original architecture to mainstream markets, then few companies can really claim that they've succeeded with this. Intel and the x86 is one of those few that comes to mind, though. wbmw
