Intel decides that Chromebooks, for some reason, are key to beating ARM in the mobile market
2014-05-07 15:21:08| Extremetech
At an event yesterday, Intel revealed the rather surprising next stage of its strategy for squeezing into the mobile market: Chromebooks! Following the failure of its smartphone efforts, and a slow start in the Windows 8 and Android tablet spaces, Intel now appears to targeting netbooks of all things. The more things change, the more things stay the same, I guess. Furthermore, not only was Google on hand at the event to trumpet its new allegiance with Intel and x86, but it also took the opportunity to stick a knife in the back of Chrome OS's support for ARM. I wouldn't be surprised if, as part of this renewed partnership with Intel, Chrome OS slowly shifts to an x86-only OS.
ARM says $20 smartphones coming this year, shows off 64-bit Cortex-A53 and A57 performance
2014-05-06 19:32:32| Extremetech
At its rather exclusive ARM Tech Day 2014 in Austin, the British company has given us more details on the future of its mobile efforts -- in specific, its upcoming Cortex-A53 and -A57 CPU cores. ARM also said that, after passing the the $60 mark last year, the cheapest Android phones will be just $20 "in the next few months." According to ARM, these cheap devices will cause the low- and mid-range smartphone and tablet markets to more than double over the next five years, resulting in almost 2.5 billion total mobile device shipments by 2018... and they'll (probably) all use ARM chips.

AMDs Project Skybridge: New ARM and x86 chips that are pin-compatible
2014-05-05 20:09:36| Extremetech
At its Core Innovation Update press conference, AMD has outlined the future of its x86 and ARM efforts. The most notable announcement was the unveiling of Project Skybridge, which in 2015 will see new 20nm x86 and ARM SoCs that are pin-compatible with each other -- that is, there'll be a single chipset/socket that can take either an ARM or x86 SoC, depending on what makes more sense. AMD also showed off its first, working 64-bit ARM server chip (Seattle), and slipped in a quick aside that it is indeed working on a new, from-scratch x86 core, with an expected release sometime around 2016.
Bell Aliant Q1 profit falls as operating arm reaps less revenue from services
2014-05-01 14:28:50| Telecom - Topix.net
The company that operates the Bell Aliant telecom system in Eastern Canada says net income dropped to $76.7 million in the first quarter, down 14 per cent from a year ago, as it felt the combined effects of higher taxes, lower revenue from older services and the cost of adding subscribers to its TV service amid stiff competition.
