Laptop makers consider Intel and ARM hybrids
Remember laptops that come with dual switchable graphic chips? Well, the same strategy could be adopted for the CPUs of laptops, as laptop makers mull ways to stretch battery life to make their devices stand out. One possibility would be to create a hybrid netbook that comes with both Intel CPU and ARM-based processors in a single device. The idea is that the more energy efficient ARM processor could be tapped for providing basic services such as email and Internet--much like a PDA or smartphone. By eliminating the need to boot up completely, unless required, battery life could theoretically be extended to around 15 hours, according to the Inquirer. The Intel processor would only be engaged for more computationally-intensive applications. The obvious downside of course, is that some sort of dual operating systems setup will be needed, which presents more complexity, in terms of usability.
