ST via Avnet, is being a real bone-head about this chip.... They told me, about a month ago, it is only for 'very large customers'. Surely the dual(quad) core A9 chips will be abundant in the not so distant future. ST sucks....imho. Just look at how pathetic there embedded linux offerings actually are..... > I guess the Samsung device is a little further into the future, but > also more powerful. Sure, there will be many that adopt multi-core A9 technology from Arm Ltd...... thanks James
