Windows Phone Thoughts: Need For Speed: ARM Multi-Core Processors Coming Soon

Spotted this at Tech Report: " It seems that everyone is getting into multi-core chips these days. ARM has unveiled a multi-processor chip that can incorporate as many as four processor cores. The "MPCore" is designed to run between 335 and 550MHz and is targeted at embedded applications, so don't expect one on your desktop. However, chips based on the MPCore are expected out in the first half of next year and could make their way into cars, consumer electronics devices, and even PDAs."

SMP on a PDA? I know we've joked about it in the past, but, wow. 8O So who needs *that* much power on their PDA? :wink: Go on, I'm curious, what do you guys do with your PDA that could really benefit from multiple processors?

For a suitably detailed insight into the Processors (including a diagram of the MPCore architecture) you can visit here, or the ARM website itself.
