RISC Processors

Aight all that crap from the P4 vs AMD thingy is going in here.

Yeah I was reading up on PIC tutorials online and I was like "This is EXACTLY the same as a STAMP." Neither of those would have the clock speed to compute/transmit 240x320x16 bits @ near 30fps for stuff that moves, without Alpha. I looked up mouser.com for "processor" and found 16 bit RISC processors, which led me to StrongARM and the SH3. They definately have the clock speed [400-500mhz for a good one], and shit the dreamcast ran 3D Sonic the Hedgehog at insane speeds @ 400mhz.

So I looked back at the Imageon 100. It said it supported both those and the NEC MIPS. When you asked ASM(MIPS) in C I knew you were writing Assembly in C, but no idea what MIPS was. That Imageon is pretty banging, I think it'll do well for what I need. I might just call ATI and talk to them and ask them what the best one to use would be. It's got an 8MB SDRAM controller, MPEG decoder, and TFT display, I couldn't ask for more. A Touchscreen controller, interrupt controller, ADC's, and some RAM later I should be able to do what I need to do.

I can't freakin wait.
