[From: John B. Holmblad]

Nils,

your assertion (incorrect it seems) about no ARM processors supporting 
on-board floating point led me to do some searching and sure enough, 
ARM, at least, has products that support onboard FPP. Check out the info 
at the following urls:

    http://www.arm.com/products/CPUs/Cortex-A8.html

    http://www.us.design-reuse.com/articles/article11580.html

It appears that the Cortex-A8 has an onboard subsystem entitled "Neon" that has FPP and is designed to provide improved support for the kinds of multimedia apps being discussed in this thread.


Best Regards,

John Holmblad
