Dell - Notebooks mit zusätzlicher ARM-CPU

Why not both ARM and Intel processors in notebooks

While UK-based IP firm ARM is aggressively targeting Intel's turf in the netbook market with its ARM-based processors, notebook makers and vendors are considering offering hybrid solutions that would combine the best of both worlds concerning optimizing the features offered by Intel and ARM.

Hybrid solutions would include both an Intel CPU and an ARM-based processor, with the energy-efficient ARM processor being used for Internet applications such as email and web browsing, while the Intel processor would be used for power-intensive office productivity applications.

In August, Dell previewed its Dell Latitude ON, a new technology that the company claims will enable near-instant access to e-mail, calendar, attachments, contacts and the Web without booting into the system's main operating system (OS). Dell says the dedicated low-voltage ARM sub-processor can enable multi-day battery life and the vendor expects to soon include this feature with its Latitude E4200 and E4300 models. [...]

Da muß ja jede Menge an Hardware doppelt ausgelegt werden. Die üblichen Intel GMA-Chipsätze wird der ARM nicht ansprechenen können. Alternativ dezidierte PCIe-GFX von ATI/Nvidia mit fressen wieder viel Strom.

Wird wohl ein SoC mit dedizierten RAM sein, der dann Zugriff auf Tastatur, TFT und wohl Laufwerke hat.

Komisch, ich hätte da eher an die E6400 bis E6500 gedacht, da dort die Ersparnis größer wäre...
