As Intel are against the ARM architecture they have failed to deliver
XScale II as planned in their original roadmap to stall the ARM
architecture, and are now selling the XScale division on to waste more
time. According to Intel the XScale division is loss making. I do not
own an Iyonix in part because it uses an Intel CPU and do not use an
Intel StrongARM in this RiscPC. ON the positive side Iyonixs may have
non-Intel XScales in them in the future.
