Silicon Strategies


REDMOND, Wash. -- Microsoft Corp. and ARM Ltd. are due to begin a two-day "executive-summit" meeting today (September 18, 2002) by announcing that Motorola Inc., STMicroelectronics and NeoMagic Corp., will each develop products optimized for Microsoft's WindowsCE.net operating system.

The executive-summit is the first ever between ARM and Microsoft and is an invitation-only event, the company's said.

Motorola, STMicro and NeoMagic join Hynix Semiconductor Inc., Intel Corp., Samsung Electronics America and Texas Instruments Inc. building chips based on ARM cores that support WindowsCE.net, ARM said, and in joining an organization called the ARM Consortium. The optimizations to be done by the latest ARM Consortium members include ones to improve battery life, to add wireless technology and to enhanced performance, ARM said.

ARM first began tailoring its chip designs to Microsoft operating system requirements in 1996, which also led to the creation of the ARM Consortium.
