ARM CPUs in most netbooks by 2012
,----[ Quote ]
| ARM-based processors will take market share from Intel Corp.'s Atom in the
| netbook segment and hold 55 percent of the netbook market by 2012, according
| to Robert Castellano, president of The Information Network.
|
| Castellano said Atom will hold 80 percent market share of the 21.5 million
| netbooks expected to be sold in 2009, but that technology changes—including
| trends in cloud computing and Linux—will undermine Atom's grip on the market
| during a recessionary time when people don't want, and can't afford, a second
| laptop just to carry around.
