Gary Smith talks about ARM and Electronic Design Automation (EDA) and where the industry is heading as processors keep getting more and more complicated, smaller and smaller, more and more costly to develop while prices of ARM Powered devices keep getting lower and lower. Gary Smith is the founder and Chief Analyst for Gary Smith EDA. Previously, he was the Managing Vice President and Chief Analyst of the Electronic Design Automation Service, Design & Engineering Cluster at Gartner Dataquest.

ARM Mali-T604, the next generation GPU for ARM Powered devices
Interview with Jem Davies and Ian Smythe on the ARM Mali-T604, the next generation graphics processor. Look forward to some insanely powerful graphics processors with the ARM Cortex-A15 processors that will start to be designed next year and available in consumer products the year after that.
ARM Powered Lego Rubiks Cube
ARM engineer David Gilday does this just as his hobby. Completely awesome.
PandaBoard, Texas Instruments OMAP4 ARM Cortex-A9
It is released now, available for $174 to developers at http://pandaboard.org deliveries starting at the end of this month.
Samsung Orion ARM Cortex-A9 3D Games in Android demo
While the games that will be optimized for the faster graphics processing of Mali-400 will look even better, it’s still cool to see some 3D stuff running on this upcoming Samsung Orion ARM Cortex-A9 processor platform.
Nufront ARM Cortex-A9 can run at 2Ghz for Desktop and Laptop usage
Beijing based Nufront is presenting their ARM Cortex-A9 processor which they plan to launch in commercial ARM Powered desktop and laptop solutions soon. Here are some demonstrations of it powering an Ubuntu 10.10 desktop and a Quake 3 game.
Nvidia Tegra2 ARM Cortex-A9 dual-core performance for web browsing
Here’s a demonstration showing that the second core in ARM Cortex-A9 processors allow for at least 50% performance improvement for such applications as the web browser in Android.
ARM CoreLink 400 Series
This is a Cache Coherent Computer subsystem. Allows to deliver a whole bunch of new use cases, two Quad Cortex-A15 clusters can be fully I/O coherent with the MAli-T604 graphics.

ST Ericsson U8500 ARM Cortex-A9
Check out the Meego OS running on this nice new super powerful ARM Cortex-A9 processor and some talk with a representative about the performance and potential of this processor platform.
Simon Segars, Executive VP and General Manager ARM Physical IP Division
An interview with Simon Segars at the ARM techcon 2010 about the status of the ARM industry. He is one of the early employees of ARM, joined in 1991, now member of the board of directors, has led the development on many of the ARM CPU products.
Marvell Armada XP Quad-core ARM Powered Servers
A discussion with Marvell about their ARM Powered Servers which could take over the whole cloud computing servers market.
Marvell Armada 100 and 600 for Tablets
Marvell shows the Armada 100 and Armada 600, explains the differences in price, performance, target markets. Also shows off the Marvell 168 powered Gplug D, the first Guruplug with a HDMI output. The big question I have is which platform will OLPC choose to use for the OLPC XO-3 tablet platform, if it will be one of these or if the timing allows for the even newer and more powerful Marvell Armada 628 Tri-Core processor to be used.
Samsung Orion ARM Cortex-A9 and Mali-400 shown for the first time
This is Samsung’s new ARM Cortex-A9 processor. Probably, I expect, the processor that will be in the next generation of Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab type of products from Samsung and from manufacturers who will want to use Samsung’s processor in their products. My guess is it may also be fast enough to power Samsung laptops with Chrome OS or some other type of embedded Linux. It seems also to be the first demonstration of Mali-400, to be confirmed. Samsung representatives were not able to confirm anything on this processor at this point.
Linaro Graphics Group at ARM Techcon 2010
An interview with the leader of the Linaro Graphics Group on the status of graphics acceleration in Linaro and how important that is for a smooth experience of advanced user interfaces on ARM Powered devices.
