re: [Myself] do any of the ASIC/FPGA manfacturers have a standard cell ARM processor that designers can integrate into a custom design? How about a standard cell x86 processor? Could AMD make any money by licensing a Geode design to one of them? Or would it be too slow, or be unreasonably large From combjelly in exile: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ARM offers their designs for use in ASICs with lots of support. I don't know of any standard cell x86, so yes, AMD could do something like that. Even though a x86 core is pretty large, ARM cores are often under 10 mm^2 on 130nm processes, the code base for x86 is a lot larger. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- hopefully, back soon Petz
