Intel has released some detailed specs on the Xscale CPU - this is one bad mother of a CPU. ;-)
• Low power, high performance 32-bit Intel® XScale™ core-based CPU (200, 300 and 400 MHz)
• ARM** Architecture v.5TE compliant and application code compatible with Intel® SA-1110 processor for rapid upgrade
• Intel® Superpipelined RISC technology utilizing advanced Intel 0.18µ process for high core speeds at low power
• Intel® Media Processing Technology including 40-bit accumulator and 16-bit SIMD to enhance audio/video decode performance
• Low Power and Turbo modes for optimal battery life
• 32 KB data and 32 KB instruction caches
• 2 KB mini data cache for streaming data
"...Integrated Memory and PCMCIA/CompactFlash Controller with 100 MHz Memory Bus, 16-bit or 32-bit ROM/Flash/SRAM six banks, 16-bit or 32-bit SDRAM, SMROM four banks, as well as PCMCIA and CompactFlash for added functionality and expandability..."
"...Peripheral Control Module offers 16-channel configurable DMA controller, integrated LCD controller with unique DMA for fast color screen support, Bluetooth* I/F, serial ports (IrDA, I2C, I2S, AC97, three UARTs, SPI and SSP), USB end point interface, and MMC/ SD Card Support for expandable memory and I/O functionality..."
