LONDON — A roadmap document from Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. shows the company working on a series of ARM-based processors designed to power future netbook computers.
The document (samsungapforcomputing.pdf), dated November 2009, begins with the premise that Intel-plus-Microsoft Windows platforms will be replaced over time with Samsung-plus-Chrome, Ubuntu platforms.
The document shows the S5PV210, previously known as Taurus and based on a single 1-GHz Cortex-A8, core as the starting point. That chip is sampling now and should be in mass production by 3Q10, according to the document.
