These processor developments are all well and good, but quite frankly unless someone puts together a simple, consumer orientated interface software, they're just meaningless techno-babble on the box. IMO the biggest obsticle facing the chip developers is getting them inside devices that people actually want.
The "ARM v7 CPU" description means that these have Cortex-A8 or A9 CPUs.
What, you mean like an iPhone? Android?Quote:

Actually, "ARM v7 CPU" just means that the CPUs will run software compiled for the ARMv7 instruction set. The Cortex-A8 and A9 cores are ARM's implementation of said instruction set. Marvell have an architecture licence so they can design their own implementations of the architecture.Quote:

You may well be correct that they are Marvell's own CPU cores. I'll be speaking to a Marvell apps engineer later today so I'll ask them.
