ARM Community: ARM Events - ARM Community

We are mid week now at Computex 2010 and if you are attending the show, I would be surprised if you hadn’t already seen multiple ARM Powered Devices around the show floor. Everyone is talking about Tablets and what role they are expected to play in the market, but in other exciting news Qualcomm’s announced that they began shipping their third-generation ARM-based Snapdragon processor. Below you will find more news media on what’s happening at Computex around ARM and the ARM Community.

ARM Readies Dual Core CPU Onslaught With 1.2 GHz Snapdragon
By Jason Mick, Daily Tech, June 1, 2010
There's no secret why the ARM architecture has trounced the x86 architecture in the mobile arena. The lowest Intel mobile processors (utilizing the Atom architecture) can get is 0.65 W (800 MHz Silverthorne, Atom Z Series), while ARM processors are typically well below half a watt in power consumption.

May 25th is notable for several reasons. Firstly it's the day before my birthday. Secondly, it's Noel Hurley's birthday. Noel, who is no longer with ARM having moved on to bigger and greater things, created the rather neat (in my opinion) Cortex-A / R / M profile naming scheme that we still use today. But mostly it's notable as International Towel Day. On Towel Day, Douglas Adams fans around the world carry a towel in memory of the author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I proudly carried my towel today, but in truth mainly because I had a Pilates lesson this morning; only later did I realize how appropriate it was.

For who don't know, the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is a BBC radio play, TV series, a book series and, in 2005 a Hollywood movie. For those that haven't yet seen the movie, I can give you some useful advice - DON'T. It was made after the...

I have often heard that teenagers are the best predictor of what new technology is going to take hold in the near future. ..This week I got to feel like a teenager again as I walked around MWC experiencing everything from a real time video conference with a juggler to seeing a lot of excitement buzzing around the ability to click on a widget and watch my favorite video. Not to get all “we are the world “or anything but I definitely did get a sense that everyone from every corner of the world was assembling at Barcelona this week…Probably more so than in Vancouver. Clearly nowadays everyone wants to stay connected and MWC is definitely the place to find cool ways to do so...

MWC being a mobile show actually is the forum where everyone is battling to get content to the SCREEN… whether your mobile phone or your TV at home. Excitingly ARM’s technology is known for bringing energy efficient processing and the best user experience to consumers, so our technology is key to winning this battle. In that vein, I had a great conversation with a start up, that shall remain nameless, that is using ARM technology to deliver entertainment content to the home. Their choice of the ARM architecture clearly gives them a lot of choices. Whether they want to leverage other people’s hardware or develop their own...the ...

WOW…What a great show CES was for ARM and its Partners! It’s no wonder the energy and excitement you find on the show floor translates into an abundance of press coverage and news articles. Below are some of the articles I found most interesting:

CES: The Magic is Back
Rob Enderle, TechNewsWorld
After two relatively ho-hum years, CES is crackling again. This year was not overshadowed by any particular device -- there were plenty of exhibitors making star turns. There were lots of tablets and Androids, 3-D TVs and 3-D games. There were also a slew of e-books on display, and a particularly interesting technology that could revolutionize that market.
