Samsung CPU is a...ARM, MIPS..?

[mackaby007]

What type of processor is it exactly? Doeas anyone know if Xscale based applications are compatible with the hermes or standard ARM? Any help would be appreciated. :)

I'm pretty sure it will be compatible with ARM not sure about xscale though

Thanks Rob. :wink:

It's an old (obselete) ARMv4 platform .... Intel have been using v5 since 2003 .... bit of a disappointment, particularly as it means iplay won't operate as it utilises ARMv5 specifics.

Damn. I mean thanks all the same. Just when it seems HTC decide to give us something better, they give us something a little better but also not cutting edge.

Anyway thanks for the info pgamble but the Hermes performs just dandy considering the point just made. :wink:

This is really a moot point, as even Intel got out of the mobile device processor game (sold the XScale division earlier this summer).

Think of it this way: the Samsung is a Samsung... Chances are if you're using old software that is processor dependent, you probably should be looking for a new alternative...
