I don't think this thread belongs in Handheld Technology, because the XP doesn't have a GPU and it's not targeted at handheld form factors. However, I don't think we have a forum broad enough to discuss non x86/PC processors either....I'll chuck it in the PC forum for the time being and see how the discussion goes.

So what is this chip actually good for? Reading the spec thing is one thing but knowing a target market for the chip is another.

The amount of I/O would suggest servers.
