Anand, ARM promises half the power consumption on average with big.Little:eetimes[dot]com/electronics-news/4400437/Big-little-test-results-show-promise--ARM-reports
Now of course if you test say a game continously, it's probably going to use only the Cortex A15's, so you need to be careful when testing battery life, to test it in a way that is as close as possible to a "real world scenario" where a normal person would be using probably mostly just the Cortex A7 cores. So make sure your battery tests don't test mostly the Cortex A15's, whenever you'll get such a chip to test, which would be pretty unrealistic scenario for most people, I think. Reply

Nice to hear about the suits @ such events, makes perfect sense given the reputation of the site, I'm just glad it's you guys suffering and not me :pGood Luck @ CES and that Ian won't get to laugh too hard @ your illnesses.
Speaking of whom, I am interested in what EE are up to with their LTE over here Ian, a write up would be appreciated. Reply

Excel for engineering data is TERRIBLE. no professional uses it. use something like DIAdem... much better and easier to use Replyskiboysteve - Monday, January 07, 2013 - link
It comes with tutorial videos and since you're logging data with the NI USB-6289 already, its perfect.I can do a join me and show you how to use it in 5 minutes. you'll love it Reply
