Re: types of processor


ARM is generic MCU / CPU / SoC .

It outperforms all others at a very low price and many

countries make it , thus competition is extreme .

This is the first time in history , when a CPU has

this extreme competition .. No one can stop it .

Thus it will also obsolete much software ..

ARM is much easier to work with , since it has
a loader that tests many places for input .

So if it fails , it simply boots from another source !

If your ARM920 box fails to boot , you simply

attach a old "terminal" to it and w/o any work at all ,

it signs on to the terminal !! If no terminal , then

it can auto-detect WXP and you can continue to

work on your ARM PC , while you figure how to

repair the original h/w failure ..


The smaller 1/2 speed ARM -7 has less memory .

the smallest "7's" only have internal mem .

But some 7's have 1/2 MB of internal Flash !

ARM will replace ever mcu . there are now

2 000 000 000 ARMs in everything from

coffee pots to printers to game boxes , to 20 "LCDs

It will bankrupt MicroChip "pic" , Intel Pentium ,

Hewlett Packard , MicroSoft ,
--------------------------------------------------------------
Big surprize , soon , free software that will be sold
allready installed in all ARMs by retailer , that will
make it easier to start .

You will put the SoC ARM9 on test pads and it will
auto sign on to 15 different i/o devices , all automatically !!

So , dont waste time learning software , it will not be
used in the future ..
