they might be testing it, but it won’t be until a6 or a7 that a solid “desktop” system (as opposed to ios) can be built on arm. Anyone who thinks otherwise is clueless.
Agree that full-blown Mac OS X needs more than just one A5 to run well. So maybe Apple could put two A5s in a MacBook Air and use Grand Central Dispatch to coordinate tasks among the 4 cores on the two chips.
Inevitably, the ARM chips will get faster, so in the future Apple will be able to use A6, A7, etc. Of course, Mac Pros would still need to use Intel chips until GCD can efficiently handle 8, 16, 32, or more cores.

Apple Won’t Release the Next iPhone in June or July [RUMOR ]
Apple has said that this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference will focus on “the future of iOS and Mac OS,” and several sources are now suggesting that Apple isn’t planning to show off any new hardware in June. That means Apple won’t even show us a new iPhone, despite the fact that new iPhone revisions were highlighted at the last three WWDC keynotes. And, if Apple divulges anything about iOS …

NEW YORK (TheStreet) — “iPhone nano” is a trending search topic as rumors swirl Monday about the future release of a possibly cheaper and smaller version of the Apple iPhone. Apple has been working on a prototype of a new iPhone for a few months, The Wall Street Journal reports, citing people familiar with the matter. “One of the people, who saw a prototype of the phone late last year, said it …

Making official what has been widely expected for days, Nokia and Microsoft have announced that the two companies are teaming up in the smartphone market, with Nokia embracing Windows Phone as its “primary smartphone strategy” while contributing its own expertise to further development of the platform.
While the specific details of the deal are being worked out, here’s a quick summary of what we are working towards:
- Nokia will adopt Windows Phone as its primary smartphone strategy, innovating on top of the platform in areas such as imaging, where Nokia is a market leader.
- Nokia will help drive and define the future of Windows Phone. Nokia will contribute its expertise on hardware design, language support, and help bring Windows Phone to a larger range of price points, market segments and geographies.
- Nokia and Microsoft will closely collaborate on development, joint marketing initiatives and a shared development roadmap to align on the future evolution of mobile products.
Nokia has long been the world’s smartphone market share leader with its Symbian platform, but the company’s dominant lead has been quickly evaporating as iOS and Android have rapidly grown. From the other perspective, Microsoft’s new Windows Phone 7 platform has been fairly well regarded by reviewers, but has yet to catch on as a latecomer to the increasingly crowded smartphone space.
A purported memo from Nokia CEO Stephen Elop published earlier this week outlined the challenges faced by Nokia in a smartphone market that has shifted from a battle of devices to a battle of “ecosystems”, a theme echoed in the public statements made today in support of the partnership with Microsoft.

I’ve always assumed that the future of the American economy relies on its continued edge in innovation.
Excerpt from:
Is the iPhone Bad for the American Economy?
As part of the $1.5 billion dollar settlement between Intel and NVIDIA, Ars Technica reports that Intel is planning on integrating NVIDIA GPUs into their future chips.
“The cross-licensing agreement allows Intel to integrate NVIDIA technologies and those that are covered by our patents into their CPUs, such as Sandy Bridge, for example,” said Jen-Hsuan. “And a cross-license allows us to build processors and take advantage of Intel patents for the types of processor we’re building–Project Denver, Tegra, and the types of processors we’re going to build in the future.”
While NVIDIA CEO reconfirmed they have no intention of reentering the chipset market, the use of NVIDIA GPUs as Intel’s integrated graphics chip could accomplish the same basic result for end users. Apple has been slow to adopt the latest Intel chips for their low end machines, possibly due to the poor GPU performance of Intel’s existing integrated graphics chips.
