> Also, on your initial post you made the assumption WP7 is runs on .NET, which is mostly incorrect. I never implied this. I just meant that the SDK is based on .NET, so .NET runs on ARM. It was a reply to the comment asking about .NET on ARM. Nothing more. And when I said "are you trolling?", I was referring to > Have you tried running Office 2010 on your phone? so I hope I wasn't downvoted for this. About the 3 points, "I doubt ...", "I don't see" and "people will want" is no evidence, just personal considerations, and mostly on the short term. So I don't want to continue the discussion any further.

    The press-release has a couple interesting parts. http://pressroom.nvidia.com/easyir/customrel.do?easyirid=A0D622CE9F579F09&version=live&prid=705184&releasejsp=release_157&xhtml=true http://pressroom.nvidia.com/easyir/customrel.do?easyirid=A0D... "NVIDIA has obtained rights to develop its own high performance CPU cores based on ARM's future processor architecture" No shipping date, no product details, nothing. Wake me up when they have shipping silicon. In the meantime, don't let Intel release anything. Don't get me wrong. I would love to finally get rid of the x86 ISA, but I know the first ARM PCs (actually they would not be the first ones) won't be high performance. And there is no magic - when we start seeing high performance ARM parts, they will demand more power and will have most of the problems x86s face today. Both camps have very smart people working on the processors we will be using a couple years from now. Presuming one of them has a secret weapon that will annihilate the competition is ludicrous.

      They are not trying to beat Intel on their own turf. The phone/pad/netbook craze demonstrates that a lot can be done with relatively weak CPUs. The heavy lifting (if neccesary at all) can be done by the GPU. As NVIDIA their main focus is GPUs I guess that's their strategy.
