iPad - PA Semi Inside?

[Karlos]

It's an ARM based CPU designed by the people formerly of PASemi, which apple bought up for 278M USD a few years ago.

I don't imagine those guys would have any problem designing ARM based processors any more than they did PPC ones.

It is ARM, I have written an App for it

I never knew you were an oriental lady's thumb (just watched cutiemish's related link).

[Karlos]

I don't really get why the designers being PASemi preclude the A4 being an ARM based CPU.

Whatever hardware design principles they used in the design of their ultra low power PPC processor could equally be applied to an ARM processor, surely?

That's never stopped you before oh glorious Sock Master :lol:

Indeed

Say, does your co-developer know about this sordid history? What's it worth to keep schtum?
