Bobs, unlike with Itanium, Chipguy is not the minority when it comes to the belief that ARM architecture has better cost, complexity, and power savings over x86 in the embedded or SFF space.
I find your posts hard to read because you don't italicize your quotes. Could you please try to do that in the future? It's a simple matter of putting: left-bracket i right-bracket before the quote and left-bracket / i right-bracket after the quote (leave out the spaces). So then we can see what you're replying to and your response.
