Hello Karl

If that's true, the grape vine is better informed than I am! Abandoning
the ARM ISA is not something I'm aware of. Motorola and Siemens span out
their semiconductor business; they have other business in their
portfolio. ARM is only semiconductor, so it would not be possible for us
to spin that business out.

We are certainly not abandoning the ARM brand name. The proper title of
the new processor is the ARM Cortex-M3. I'm not in marketing, but I
believe the decision to name the processor family was to prevent
confusion between core names and architectures. The ARM V7 architecture
sounds too much like ARM7! Speaking of Intel, I would argue a better
comparison is their change from the 80486 to Pentium than from Intel to
Bananas Inc.

Enjoy tinkering!

Tim
