As if the Cortex-A9 (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/arm-demos-the-cortex-a9s-web-browsing-skills-on-video/) isn't stirring up enough emotion (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/apples-a4-is-an-arm-based-system-on-a-chip-a-la-tegra-2/) all by itself (http://www.engadget.com/tag/tegra2), ARM has revealed it is working hard on producing another, presumably even faster, iteration of its Cortex-A series of chips. Code named Eagle, the new processor is slated for a production run of 3 billion units annually, but alas there's no more information on it beyond its intended market of smartphones, mobile computing (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/03/arm-ceo-says-netbooks-could-eventually-grab-90-percent-of-pc-mar/), and digital TV products. There's also word of a pair of embedded chips, dubbed Heron and Merlin, which will find roles to perform in automotive and audio processing environments. Unsurprising that ARM isn't standing still, but we could've done without all this titillation.
