According to this “guest blog” post on ARM’s Web site, the next generation of the mobile CPU maker’s flagship chip will be better suited to perform audio (and voice) processing. This development is especially interesting in light of joint announcement from ARM and Microsoft that they are extending their collaborative development efforts in ways that are expected to have the greatest impact in support of “embedded” versions of the Windows OS and the latest version of Windows Phone.
Even though Microsoft and ARM have a relationship that dates back to the mid-1990s, Microsoft Windows is, for good reason, most closely associated with Intel (WinTel being the predominant desktop combo in enterprise settings). Yet Ed Sperling gets it exactly right when he points out that ARM performs better than the Intel ATOM processor when it comes to power management, in battery-powered mobile or embedded devices.
Taking the two announcements together, we can expect Windows Phone-based products to have sufficient battery life and do a better job of recognizing and rending spoken utterances than current models.
