Intel Is Doomed
 

1.5ghz triple core Marvell Armada 628 capable of 1080p video that is both 3d or non 3d, USB 3.0, 140 hours of music playback. Wow powerful I can't wait to see Arm powered netbooks running on this.

OMAP4430 1ghz dual core Arm Cortex A9 capable of 1080p video etc

1.2ghz dual core Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8660. Again capable of magic words like 1080p.

Nvidia Tegra 2 1ghz dual core Arm Cortex A9 based processor

The amazing thing is that these processors are all more powerful than Intel Atoms and will use less power and will probably cost less money than. Will Intel attempt to get Atom based smartphones or try to license the Arm Architecture, I can imagine Intel based smartphones with 2 hours of battery life Lol.

Re: Intel Is Doomed
 

Intel has several licenses from ARM, and making inferior chips has never hurt their business before. If anything was going to "doom" intel, it would have been the Itanium fiasco or the terrible Pentium 4 performance. The mobile market is hardly a company-killer for intel, especially because all those underpowered netbooks are going to need some serious server strength on the other end of their 3g connections... and that's where Xeon comes in.

Re: Intel Is Doomed
 

Well the fact that you can get a device with a faster chip and better battery life will be what dooms Intel (at least in the Netbook Space).

Re: Intel Is Doomed
 

I dont think it will happen....remember the Nano?

Old article but informational.

Re: Intel Is Doomed
 

Except, what will the ARM Netbooks run? Linux? Good luck selling that to the masses.

Re: Intel Is Doomed
 

That isn't really an issue if the devices are just there to basic stuff.

Re: Intel Is Doomed
 

If Intel was going to be doomed by competition providing better cost/performance ratio, AMD would have put them under years ago.

Re: Intel Is Doomed
 

i would be so happy if an n990 would came out.
same look but one of these super cpus and hdmi :)

Re: Intel Is Doomed
 

Amd is just one company, while Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, Marvell, StEricsson, Samsung, Nvidia just to name a few are putting out competing dual core solutions and Intel can't compete with this many companies.
