Ben,

Xscale is a next generation core RISC, and is the follow-up chip to the
StrongArm.  All the wireless chip companies are busy trying to develop and
optimize new ways to provide the most processing power at the lowest power
consumption.  Should be neet to see how handset capability will really take
off in the coming years...

"XScale" is just the new name for StrongARM, right?
