ARM boosts profits by 45 percent, strengthens grip on the universe

The British chip designer continued last year’s growth streak with a 45 percent surge in quarterly normalized pre-tax profits compared to Q4 2010. Revenues also rose by 21 percent to £137.8 million ($217 million) — not bad for a company that started out with twelve engineers in a barn . There’s nothing complicated about CEO Warren East’s explanation of the results — he simply says that his company sold more designs to “more new customers” and also raked in more royalties from existing deals.

Intel-powered Windows 8 tablets to struggle for sub-$600 pricing?

The site indicates that neither Intel nor Microsoft are willing to cut their prices to help manufacturers, the former providing the Clover Trail hardware and the latter the Windows 8 software, which could see these machines starting at $599 and going way up from there. This could send manufacturers looking for lesser-expensive ARM-powered hardware, creating tablets incapable of executing the current gamut of x86 Windows software

Marvell shows off ARM-powered Google TV, looks a lot like Google TV

Tonight at CES Unveiled Marvell gave us a peek at the future of Google TV with this tiny box, running the latest version of the software on one of its recently announced Armada 1500 ARM processors . It was controlled by a standard Logitech Revue keyboard/trackpad combo, and we couldn’t really get a feel for any potential performance differences but the box was sitting there, fanlessly, cheaply and efficiently doing its thing. We’ll probably know more about the actual hardware you’ll be able to buy in the future tomorrow, but for now you can peep a few more pics of this reference box in the gallery
