ARM Launches Cortex-A5 Processor, To Take On Atom
bigwophh writes "ARM launched its new Cortex-A5 processor (codenamed Sparrow) this week, and while it's not targeted at the top end of the mobile market, it is a significant launch nonetheless. The Cortex-A5, which will likely battle future iterations of Intel's Atom for market share, is an important step forward for ARM for several reasons. First, it's significantly more efficient to build than the company's older ARM1176JZ(F)-S, while simultaneously outperforming the ARM926EJ-S. The Cortex-A5, however, is more than just a faster ARM processor. Architecturally, it's identical to the more advanced Cortex-A9, and it supports the same features as that part as well. This flexibility is designed to give product developers and manufacturers access to a fully backwards-compatible processor with better thermal and performance characteristics than the previous generation."
You win.... me fucking your dead great grandmother!!!1
i don't know if it's the nappy hair or the large flat noses or what, but does anyone else think that most black women they have ever seen are pretty damned ugly? there's a few exceptions but not many. black men must agree or else they wouldn't consider white women such trophies. hell they don't even seem to mind FAT white women as long as they're white and that's gotta tell ya something
Out of the many reasons that Linux fans are perma-virgins, one of them is the logic where because some hippie pulls an old Sun machine out of the garbage bin, and therefore Linux/Sparc32 is somehow a "viable" architecture.
In reality, hardware architectures are made successful by the hardware vendor, not the software provider. So before you dismiss MS's previous RISC ventures, ask yourself if the hardware ROI was poor, or if you're in fact a sickening example of humanity who repulses even slightly desirable females.
In short, don't count Microsoft out just because you're a sub-untouchable.
