PalmInfocenter: Motorola Unveils 200 MHz Dragonball-ARM Chip

Motorola has announced two new DragonBall microprocessor products — the DragonBall MX1 and DragonBall Super VZ.

The DragonBall MX1, the first ARM core-based DragonBall microprocessor, offers speeds up to 200 MHz. Also, it provides the first on-chip Bluetooth ready applications processor announced from a major semiconductor supplier. While Palm hasn’t yet specified which company will make the processors in its OS 5.0 devices expected next year, the MX1 is a prime candidate.
