  1. Maybe its time for the clockless chips? by jobbegea · · Score: 1 · on Why We Need a Second Moore's Law

    Current day CPUs like the Pentium march to an internal clock that at this moment runs at around 2 Ghz. This is both difficult to design and very inefficient.

    There is research going on that changes the clock based design for much more energy efficient clockless design. Mind you this is nothing new, just not applied yet to every day computers.

    One interesting chip design is/was the Amulet which is compatible with the very popular ARM design in a clockless version.

  2. Acorn Computer, Apple, and ARM Ltd. by Madwand · · Score: 1 · on Intel Unveils New StrongARMs

    One small correction to the timeline: Apple Computer used the ARM CPUs in the Newton PDA (which Steve Jobs killed off after he took over again - not one of his better decisions).

    It was Apple that insisted that Acorn Computer divest itself of the ARM development team, so that they could be buying from a supplier that wasn't directly competing with them in the computer systems market. Thus was Acorn RISC Machines (ARM), Ltd. born.

    The collaboration with DEC came later, and that produced the StrongARM.

  3. Looks interesting! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1 · on Amiga's New SDK: A First Glance

    The Amiverse looks very exciting, I also found some interesting articles at devicetop.com relating to Tao/Amiga`s new OS:

    Motorola`s first mobile phone based on Tao technology,

    Review

    Tao becomes Sun authorised JVM,

    Elate first Heterogenous Multiprocessor OS,

    ARM even states: "Because of the patented techniques, the intent JTE runs Java applications extremely quickly, more than 30 times faster than competitor's products."

  4. Amiga revolutionizes the computing industry,again? by Dredox · · Score: 1 · on New Power-Sipping Chips From Intel

    Amiga/Tao`s JVM technology is according to ARM "Because of the patented techniques, the intent JTE runs Java applications extremely quickly, more than 30 times faster than competitor's products"!

    President of Amiga said at an Amiga show in Germany that it was around 22x faster with multimedia than ANY other JVM including Sun`s efforts. He also said Sun was introducing this new technology to its clients and it will become the new JVM standard. He also demonstrated the new SDK with blazing Java speeds.

    An Amiga assembler coder founded a company in 1992 which is today known as the Tao Group.Read this interesting article. Its platform independence goes much further than solely application, but kernel, device drivers etc as well!

  5. Re:Proof by Dredox · · Score: 1 · on Is The x86 Obsolete?

    As I thought you and others would probably doubt my words I searched the internet hard for evidence for my bold claims.It was difficult as it has been one of the best kept secrets.

    Quote from ARM page "Because of the patented techniques, the intent JTE runs Java applications extremely quickly, more than 30 times faster than competitor's products."
