I thought Silicon on Insulator became a burden instead of a benefit at smaller than 45nm?

Now that ARM is starting to use decade old technology, they have a chance to move ahead. I think that with they're small designs they have the option of getting they're cores bigger or having more cores. If they do a half/half then they're just going to stay in the same race they are now which is good for low cpu horsepower requirements but not any good for competition against the desktop dudes.

Do it ARM, make it so we can easily have 50 cores that take zero power when not in use!

the power converted to heat in the rest of the device needs to be dissipated.

At one level it's a fundamental consequence of data processing, although present day devices haven't yet achieved the theoretical maximum efficiency.

So, anyway, we need better chargers...

Or should be. It's possible that there are robot zombies that will answer spam-vertising and turn their steps to the nearest eatery or flavored water seller, but I think -- or hope -- that thrill will wear off for most.

Anyhoo, Muller is right on the need for software -- actually, new functions -- but when I have to fish around on Windows Media Player to grab the position slider merely to jump forward a bit, I don't hold out much hope for ergonomics or convenience to improve.
