ARM vs. Atom: The battle for the next digital frontier

,----[ Quote ]
| Consider: Intel sold its 1 billionth x86 
| chip in 2003. Its closest rival, AMD, broke 
| the 500 million mark just this year. ARM, on 
| the other hand, expects to ship 2.8 billion 
| processors in 2009 alone -- or around 90 
| chips per second. That's in addition to the 
| more than 10 billion ARM processors already 
| powering devices today.
