Nov 16 15:18:40 <key2> hi
Nov 16 15:19:13 <key2> someone knows a fast and cheap ARM9 proc ?
Nov 16 15:20:17 <prpplague> key2: s3c2410 is pretty cheap and fast
Nov 16 15:20:27 <prpplague> key2: what kind of specs are you needing?
Nov 16 15:20:39 <prpplague> key2: need just a cpu or a complete dev board?
Nov 16 15:20:49 <prpplague> key2: you might try joining #edev 
Nov 16 15:21:16 <key2> prpplague: i was looking for a cpu at > 500 Mhz
Nov 16 15:21:34 <prpplague> key2: are you sure you need that kind of clocks?
Nov 16 15:22:22 <key2> yeah for running the Android from google
Nov 16 15:23:40 <prpplague> key2: i would be willing to bet, you would do fine with the s3c2440 running @400mhz
Nov 16 15:24:05 <prpplague> key2: is there a spec page for android that recommends a specific processor requirments?
Nov 16 15:24:39 <prpplague> key2: the key idea is that just because something is running at 500mhz doesn't mean that the device is efficient
Nov 16 15:24:40 <key2> prpplague: no
Nov 16 15:24:58 <key2> prpplague: well s3c2440 is said to run at 200mhz
Nov 16 15:25:15 <key2> oops
Nov 16 15:25:15 <prpplague> key2: xscale devices running at 600mhz are comparable in performance to most ARM920T devices at 400mhz
Nov 16 15:25:22 <prpplague> key2: 2440 is 400
Nov 16 15:25:27 <key2> yeah
Nov 16 15:25:27 <prpplague> key2: 2410 is 200
Nov 16 15:25:38 <prpplague> the 2460 can run at 600 
Nov 16 15:25:45 <key2> had mmu ?
Nov 16 15:25:53 <prpplague> key2: yea
Nov 16 15:26:07 <key2> what is the package ?
Nov 16 15:26:08 <key2> bga ?
Nov 16 15:26:11 <prpplague> key2: i don't believe there are any 2460 dev kits available at the momment
Nov 16 15:26:14 <prpplague> key2: yea all bga
Nov 16 15:26:28 <prpplague> key2: you aren't going to find many arm9's in qfp
Nov 16 15:26:43 <prpplague> key2: cirrus logic does some, but they really are intended for mobile devices
Nov 16 15:26:53 <key2> mmh
Nov 16 15:26:58 <key2> and 200mhz one i guess
Nov 16 15:27:29 <key2> prpplague: where can you buy s3c2440  ? digikey ?
Nov 16 15:27:49 <prpplague> key2: you want just the chip? or a dev board?
Nov 16 15:28:22 <key2> well to see the price of the chip
Nov 16 15:28:25 <key2> but yeah a devboard
Nov 16 15:28:38 <prpplague> http://www.littlechips.com/LN2410SBC_LP35.htm
Nov 16 15:29:51 <prpplague> key2: the s3c2440 is gonna run you around $9.00USD in qty
Nov 16 15:30:00 <prpplague> key2: singles are gonna be pricy around $20
Nov 16 15:30:49 * prpplague goes to engineering meeting
Nov 16 15:32:05 <key2> mmh nice
