ARM was suppose to come out with a 1KMHZ core. I don't know if anyone has used it yet, it had the embedded 3D stuff with OpenGL and some Java I think. I seen some 3D real time demos done on it, and they looked decent in comparison to directx 8+ games.

I wanted to get one and start a SBC project to test rendering stuff on, but this was like last year or something and nobody had it in post production yet.

EDIT: It's the ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore that I was thinking about with the NEON engine. I think it supports the embedded OpenGL API and some Java based framework.

NEON technology accelerates multimedia and signal processing algorithms such as video encode/decode, 2D/3D graphics, audio, voice and speech processing, image processing, telephony, and sound synthesis by at least 3x the performance of ARMv5 and at least 2x the performance of ARMv6 SIMD.

The architecture is optimally defined and works seamlessly with its own independent pipeline and register file.

The ARM Cortex-A8 processor with NEON technology is becoming widely accepted as the leading processor in multimedia applications ranging from smartphones and mobile computing devices to HDTV.
