What war? ARM already won the next generation of the mobile consumer devices. There are tens of millions of them sold.
x86-based smartphones, MIDs or even tablets are nonsense, just because the only goal of x86 is Windows binary compatibility. Anyone needs Windows 7 on their [i]phone?
ARM with Android is the new mainstream for the mobile segment, while atom-based low-powered linux "servers" is just a small niche for systems involved in monitoring and other low-intensity tasks.
- hga 16y agoAccording to Wikipedia, 10 billion (thousand million) sold as of January 2008 and it's predicted that 5 billion will be sold in 2011. The current yearly rate broke 1 billion in 2005 or earlier.
