Windows Phone Thoughts: Intel Aims For Longer-Running Handhelds

"The chipmaker has developed a new XScale PXA processor, which is meant to improve the battery life of devices while doubling--from 100MHz to 200MHz--the speed at which the processor can communicate with other components within the device, such as memory. The XScale PXA255 is the successor to the current PXA250 and will come with the same clock speeds: 200MHz, 300MHz and 400MHz. The chipmaker has already sent samples to its customers, and the chip is expected to ship in high volume at the end of the quarter. Details of the chip cropped up late Tuesday on handheld enthusiast site Pocket PC Thoughts."

Would you look at that! C|Net journalist Richard Shim mentioned our little site. Pretty cool - hi Richard! :D The story was also syndicated onto ZDNet.
