The Bitsy G5 is the ideal solution for computational or image processing performance applications. Based on the Freescale® i.MX31™ RISC ARM11 processor, it is compact, robust with a wide range of communications features, and power thrifty through ADSmartPower™, which optimizes power usage by partitioning the system and deploying components engineered to maximize battery life. The Bitsy G5 can be either a stand-alone module or customized for further expandability and customization via the personality board. The full-featured, Bitsy G5 embedded computer configuration, with an ADS Personality Board, would provide the right solution for every application need.

Video Performance Comparison. PXA and IMX Processors for Various CODECs - White_Papers
Media for small, embedded devices is in our future. We ran some quick tests on the leading PXA (Marvell) and i.MX (Freescale) CPU architectures to see where the current and likely future price/performance leader is. The operating system, across the board, was Windows CE. We ran the same media file, compressed four different ways, on three CPUs with three different media players. Performance differences of greater than two to one were seen; however these differences are small compared to the potential effect of application-specific features that exist with these highly specialized CPUs.
