i386 - legacy architecture ?i386 - legacy architecture ?Posted Jul 25, 2006 20:46 UTC (Tue) by dlang (subscriber, #313)In reply to: i386 - legacy architecture ? by mikov Parent article: Kernel Summit 2006: Kernel quality and development process
embedded projects are likly to continue useing x86 for a while, but embedded only use is legacy compared to desktop/server use with all the new drivers continually appearing :-)
that being said, one of the huge benifits of x86 embedded is the common development environment, if the desktop environment moves to amd64 don't be surprised to see cut-down versions of amd64 chips (same instruction sets, but much simpler, cheaper, and slower) released, targeted specificly at the embedded market.
