Windows 8 on ARM base solution is it a new era?

By Oded Amir


Microsoft is intending to exhibit her Windows 8 for ARM base devices. The first time that Microsoft is moving away from the x86-only approach. Really an enormous change in the embedded pc market

The Announcement will probably take place at the end of October. Will this announcement will change the market that till today it appears to be the on Apple OS6 and the Android which is a subset of Linux were the dominators in the market or even the only operating system excluding RIM. Are we going to be in a position to use our mobiles and inserted P.C devices same as we are operating with our Windows base desktop, workstations and mobile? I sure hope hence due the incontrovertible fact the Smartphone users are struggling with straightforward jobs as removing or edit items or files. Did you spot that also?

Microsoft is definitely going to enter a field that for a number of years it appears that was avoided by her. Fields like like the tablet market, phone market, and embedded market. In a short period time we will be capable of finding OS will run on ARM processors, provided by corporations such as TI, Nvidia, and Qualcomm.

It was obligatory and predicted nevertheless , due to 2 principal reasons. First, ARM processors got stronger, and second, there aren't any x86 processors that are acceptable to the requirements of tablets today.

ARM has indeed become powerful enough to run theWindows on it. It is no longer the processor that used to trade in performance for power usage. With the advent of dual-core ARM Cortex CPUs â€" cranking speeds above 1GHz and supported by leading vendors like Freescale, Nvidia, Qualcomm, TI, and the like â€" ARM has assuredly come a good way from its StrongARM days. It has provided an equivalent alternative to the x86.

We're not sure yet and we didn't get all the answer from Microsoft on the WIN8 and all his modules, but I am sure that Microsoft is back to answer to iPad and the Android-powered tablet market. Though the Windows CE-based solutions so far were a little bit disappointed and did not able to concord a meaning full in the market.

I'm quite certain that the Inserted PC market sooner or later will change noticeably and Microsoft is going to play a leading role. Certainly it'll affect Intel and AMD and I'm asking myself is the definition WINTEL is going to be part of the Embedded PC history. The only question is how long it'll take.
