    More powerful than the ones you know? Nobody can answer this as long as you don't list the ARM CPUs that you know ;-)
    In any case, the most powerful one currently still seems to be the one that I mentioned back in January in the last sentence of that posting:

    Latest information on that:

    At 1.6 GHz and below it's still a chip intended mainly for mobile computing including notebook/netbook, not only phone/tablet. In the first video however they also show an AIO computer prototype based on it, and in the second video they call this prototype a reference design. So from that I conclude that they also intend to target general desktop computing with this chip, presumably with the 2.0 GHz version.
    That said there seems to be a little confusion regarding the 2.0 GHz version and laptops. In the first video it's said that the 2.0 GHz chip will be used in laptops because its power consumption is too much for mobile devices. Some might say that a laptop is a mobile device as well...
