Qualcomm, which is supplying its Snapdragon systems on a chip (SoCs) to several vendors about to launch WinRT systems, highlights several capabilities that distinguish these high mobility devices from PCs.
Several new systems sporting this chip produced an average PC WorldBench 98 score of 235, roughly 10 percent faster than the fastest PII systems we've tested (which, at 450-MHz, scored 214).
They can look toward new technologies, such as on-chip water-cooled systems, evaporation techniques, and hot-water reuse.
Christophe Duverne, a spokesman for NXP, told Reuters that it would take months or years for some users of the chip to adapt their systems to defend against the attack.
Recent example: helping a top semiconductor maker quickly diversify out of the depressed memory business by developing complex new systems on a chip.
Ruiz would rather have Motorola expand its business of developing whole systems on a chip, where margins are 40% to 50%, double those of components.
It includes the world's fastest semiconductors, lasers able to etch minuscule chip circuits and ultrasecure broadband communications systems.
While the Kepler-powered chip won't actually hit Apple systems till later this year, we got a first look at the K500 on a Mac here at IBC.
For that to happen, the electrons would have to pass between the channel systems via the wiring of the chip.
Each group had its own submicron laboratories, fabs and systems-on-a-chip design libraries.
The design, which combines a CPU and modem on a single chip, is more affordable, efficient and compact than systems that use two chips, said Lin.

At National Semiconductor's stand at CeBIT, a dozen or so WebPad vendors were displaying products based around the chip maker's integrated Geode processors and running operating systems ranging from Linux and QNX to Windows CE.
We are beginning to roll out these systems and the GPs for example, who are using these systems at the moment are obviously convinced that having chip and pin security full the accreditation of all their staff is an awful lot more secure than the laissez faire arrangements that exist in some places at the moment.
Rather than having your entire chip be in the same security domain, he says, the most critical things like the management of cryptographic keys or the management of network connections or DRM systems can be isolated in separate transistors on the same chip.
This highly integrated system-on-chip enables a cost-effective design for mid- to high-level infotainment systems and can scale to add the functionality of an external applications processor.

Each would carry a fluid doped with vanadium ions, but those ions would be in different oxidative states in the different channel systems at least, they would be when they entered the chip.
However, the firm does not believe return customers at its UK stores were affected - or that chip and pin data in the UK was accessed as none is stored on the systems in Watford.
The idea of analysing or synthesising small quantities of chemicals in a chip-sized apparatus is not new, but labs on chips have conventionally relied on systems of tiny pipes etched into them to move the chemicals around.
"There's no easy way to go about overclocking our systems anymore, " says AMD spokesperson Drew Prairie, whose company has changed its chip design to make the chips difficult to overclock.
Intel has spent years and billions of dollars convincing consumers that megahertz matters, and today PC buyers are trained to look for systems with higher speed processors--even if the raw clock speed of the chip isn't the primary driver of performance.
The leaders are companies like Apple (chips and systems), Samsung (chips and systems), Google (operating system), Qualcomm (chips), ARM (chip designs), TSMC (foundry), and Globalfoundries (foundry).

Facebook has also garnered support for a new system-on-chip connection standard, rather affectionately named Group Hug, that would let owners swap in new mini systems from any vendor through PCI Express cards.
While most of you probably carry an all-in-one NAV with a built-in GPS receiver, the MG-920 is designed to connect to Bluetooth navigation systems that need a little help syncing with satellites, and although the SiRF Star III LP chip and rechargeable Li-ion cell are entirely average, the bottom-mounted FM transmitter allows a turn-by-turn instructor to be channeled to one's FM radio.
