I do not find it in your comparison > of the processors. that's because Cortex A15 is a *type of processor* - it's a licenseable hard macro from ARM - not an *actual* processor make/model in and of itself. remember, ARM licenses processor *designs*, they do **NOT** actually *MAKE* processors. they're what's called a "fabless semiconductor design company". l. _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list [email protected] http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to [email protected]
