ARM Prototypes: Coming soon to a netbook near you.
ARM is solely an intellectual Property company. They design, and then license production of their ARM cores to other companies. However when they create a new core, they DO have it produced, in silicon for testing, and for use in toolchain makers to develop compilers etc for.
ARM Cortex-A8
Here are 2 such devices, one the ARM Cortex-A8, which in its fastest version (1100MHz+) can handily beat an Intel Atom in netbooks. The Cortex-A8 is used in the just release Palm Pre.
ARM1176
The ARM1176JZF is used in such devices as the iPhone. Both of these were fabbed by TSMC.
Thanks to Mr. Boys of ARM for the photos.
