ARM at 28 nm This Year

,----[ Quote ]
| Did I mention these things are small? At 28 
| nm the cores will be half the size of their 
| 40 nm devices which are very competitive with 
| Atom. Running GNU/Linux instead of that other 
| OS, these new ARM CPUs will kick Atom with 
| that other OS out of the park.

The New UI for ARM Based Ubuntu Devices

,----[ Quote ]
| ARM based platforms traditionally have a problem
| with graphics drivers and free software.
| Encumbered by licensing issues, many platforms
| only ship with 2D based drivers whilst the 3D
| driver-enabled offerings only frequent the
| poshest of circles such as Nokia's N900. There
| are exceptions, but its a painful reality at the
| moment.
|
| Vendors are trying to work around it, especially
| as there is the expectation of a ramp-up in the
| availability of ARM based hardware. Super long-
| life netbooks, low powered touch based computers,
| and even a flurry of smaller embedded devices are
| forecast to hit the market this year, many of
| which will be based on the Linux operating
| system. Ubuntu would be a great match for this.
