The Samsungs an ARM processor and the intel is an xscale processor.

Thier speeds probably about the same, but what systems are they in ?

The Intel is ARM compliant as well as the Samsung.

http://www.intel.com/design/pca/prodbref/252780.htm

and is produced in 200, 300 & 400Mhz versions.

The original question was which one is better - and without knowing what operating sytem he wants to use there is no easy answer ( a 266MHz ARM running 2003 can easily outperform a 300 MHz XScale running 2002 )

The XScale is not only ARM compliant - it is an ARM core (from memory ARM v.5T or v.5TE instruction set). However, some things are arranged differently on the XScale to many ARM processors, which is why certain performance critical code such as MPEG players is often available in an XScale specific version.

If druck is reading, he'll probably have even more details to hand than I do.


As an aside, the SiRFstar IIe/LP chipset at the heart of many of our GPS receivers uses an ARM processor core.


As Lutz says, 2003 tends to run rather faster on the same hardware than 2002 does - it's based on the rather better Windows CE 4.20 (Pocket PC 2002 is based on Windows CE 3.00).

Overall, you're unlikely to see much difference in performance between the two processors. It depends on the rest of the machine as to which is a good option.

Well my old medion ppc 250 (Samsung) ran things a lot better than my new medion 9500 does (intel) so If I had the choice it would be the samsung
