The iPad and iPhone graphics processor maker buys MIPS' CPU tech, ARM bags its patents

Can't be that hard. Apple's frenemy, Samsung, is still making screens and processors for Apple.

As well as use ARM designs for their Exynos chips which are beasts in their own right. This just means better things are on the way from ARM.

saaay what???
no seriously, I've read it like 4 times and I have no idea what your saying.

Apple and Imagine will never separate. Apple has leaned very heavily on PowerVR to be able to keep its CPU needs low. It would have to have an OS paradigm shift at this point to break away from its simple OS (not CPU intensive) and its high quality games (very GPU intensive) routine.

Thanks for pointing that out too. I couldn't believe author couldn't just say MIPS instead.

I love PA pictures and stuff, but probably will just scan through writing in the future..
