Quote:
Known under the internal codename "Project Denver," this initiative features an NVIDIA® CPU running the ARM instruction set, which will be fully integrated on the same chip as the NVIDIA GPU.

This new processor stems from a strategic partnership, also announced today, in which NVIDIA has obtained rights to develop its own high performance CPU cores based on ARM's future processor architecture. In addition, NVIDIA licensed ARM's current Cortex™-A15 processor for its future-generation Tegra® mobile processors.

"ARM is the fastest-growing CPU architecture in history," said Jen-Hsun Huang, president and chief executive officer of NVIDIA. "This marks the beginning of the Internet Everywhere era, where every device provides instant access to the Internet, using advanced CPU cores and rich operating systems.

The more appropriate question is,

"lol why would I run it in the first place in order to wonder what to run on it?"

Wink

ARM have almost no redeeming qualities other than relatively lower cost and less power usage. Whoopdie doo, now the netbook would be cheaper and run Windows 8 (the "lolwut" version of it, for ARM). I have raged against ARM (and all RISC based) CPUs, no time to lay my arguments once more.

Yes obviously this concerns tablets/netbooks. Personally I think it's a very interesting piece of news!
