Intel's Wireless MMX Comes to XScale Processors
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 02:30 PM
"Intel has updated its Wireless MMX mobile multimedia technology, paving the way for a revision of its XScale PXA ARM-based processor family. Today, Intel unveiled Wireless MMX 2, a series of 64-bit SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) instructions not unlike the SSE extensions developed for its desktop processors. Essentially, they're designed to apply programs to data streams, such as 3D imagery, video and audio. Intel is pitching the technology at handset makers looking to create ever more feature-rich devices - typically through enhanced media handling."
Considering that most of our Pocket PCs are running XScale processors, this is nothing but good news for us - assuming the developers tap into what's available.
