<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1110/ipad-jobs2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[The hot-selling biography of Steve Jobs has revealed that the Apple CEO at one point wanted to use Intel's Atom chip for the iPad.  He had contended that Intel was reliable for mobile chips, even when the iPhone was already shipping with ARM.  Then-key executive and later Nest Labs founder Tony Fadell was not only adamant that ARM would be better but even threatened to resign on the spot at a boar...]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1012/applea4.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Apple in a low-profile move has posted a job listing for a CPU Microarchitect.  The hire would work out of the company's Cupertino headquarters to shape the microarchitecture of a processor.  Like most positions, it didn't give a clue as to the product but stressed the mobile side, as the team member would focus on designing around "power, [clock speed] timing, and [chip] area."...]]></description>

<title>ARM: Apple has no reason to buy us</title>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1004/samsunghummingbird-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[ARM CEO Warren East quickly moved to defuse rumors of a possible Apple takeover with a response to the suspicions.  He noted that ARM's inherent nature, where it licenses architecture rather than make the chips themselves, means there would be little incentive to actually buy the company.  Apple is already free to modify the design....]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1004/googlechromeostablet.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Google's buyout of Agnilux was motivated by a desire to port Android and Chrome to other devices, a source said Wednesday.  The former PA Semi workers reportedly made the swap not to make hardware but to help Google's OS platforms run on hardware they don't normally use.  This could include the Android-based Google TV set-top box and more efficient tablets....]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1004/samsunghummingbird-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Several clues have surfaced that suggest processor design house Intrinsity may have been acquired by Apple.  At least 13 engineers at the company, such as Mark Nodine, have either changed their LinkedIn profiles to reflect work at Apple as of April or have said they were starting work as of Thursday.  Jim Blomgren is known to have posted the status only to retract it later as a possible hint that ...]]></description>

<title>Apple A4 processor really stripped-down Cortex A8?</title>
<link>http://www.electronista.com/articles/10/03/01/chip.limited.to.ipad.needs/</link>
<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1001/applea4.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[The custom A4 processor in the iPad is in reality a castrated Cortex A8 ARM design, say several sources.  Despite speculation that the chip might be based on the more advanced Cortex A9 platform, the A4 is instead said to use a single, 1GHz A8 core, paired with PowerVR SGX graphics technology.  The A9 could have allowed Apple to build its first dual-core handheld....]]></description>

<title>PA Semi not responsible for Apple A4 chip?</title>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1001/applea4.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Despite popular belief, the A4 processor in the iPad was not designed by people from PA Semi, a "very trusted" VentureBeat source claims.  Apple bought the chip design firm in April of last year, and in June it was acknowledged by Steve Jobs that the aim was to produce chips for iPhone and iPod devices.  The iPad has been described in the media and by analysts as an oversized iPod touch....]]></description>
