ARM to overtake x86 in ultra mobile devices by 2013, says ABI Research

,----[ Quote ]
| ARM-based systems introduces greater choice 
| and differentiation for system vendors, 
| although an estimated 90% of ultra-mobile 
| devices (UMDs) shipped in 2009 were based on 
| an x86 processor architecture, according to a 
| new report by ABI Research.
| 
| The firm forecasts that annual UMD shipments 
| of netbooks, MIDs, smartbooks and UMPCs based 
| on ARM instruction sets will surpass x86-based 
| UMDs by 2013.

| "If you look at what's been accomplished in 18
| months to two years and compare that to the 25
| years of the Wintel monopoly, it's clear that
| the consumer experience on Linux-based
| desktops ... in a relatively short period of
| time is catching up quickly,â said chief

Intel Not a Strong Presence on the Mobile Market, ARM CEO Claims

,----[ Quote ]
| The ARM CEO concedes to the fact that the PC
| market is rightfully aimed at x86 chips, but
| says that the mobile segment is still ARM's
| territory. He also believes that versions of
| the Linux operating system will provide an
| experience similar to Windows, seeing how,
| according to him, consumers aren't concerned
| with the OS as long as the device performs
| well and has a working, comprehensive
| interface.
