If AMD is considering complimenting their processors with ARM alternatives, I bet they are kicking themselves in the butts for selling off their ARM portfolio. Still, this will be interesting to watch. They obviously aren't getting ahead of Intel in the PC processor space any time soon, but with all their chip building experience I think they could take the ARM instruction set and make something much more powerful than current ARM processors with it. Still bound by the same manufacturing nodes as other ARM players, but with lots more experience in the higher performance range.

I would love to see my next phone have an AMD APU in it. :Pdenndenn - Thursday, February 9, 2012 - link
Wonder if they can bring back the Mips processor as I think the end of road may be here for x86
