Julio Meneses, fellow MVP, shared this interesting article regarding Samsung's new CPU for mobile devices. The CPU will run at 400-600 MHz and is based on the ARM10 instruction set. Samsung says the new processor will be cost competitive and require less power than other processors, 1 mW/MHz. In comparison with other processors this power consumption will lead to double battery life length. It appears that Samsung has done much integration work on this processor. I am not a CPU guru, but integrating a flash bootloader, SD/MMC controller, USB support, TFT-LCD controller and MPEG-4 support will most likely lead to a better cost situation for device manufacturers. Mass production is slated to begin this summer.
