Users who are interested in a <a href="http://www.bgr.com/tag/chromebook/">Google-powered Chromebook</a> only have two options, <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/05/11/samsung-and-acer-to-intro-google-chromebooks-on-june/">Acer’s AC700 or Samsung’s Series 5 Chromebook</a>. Both laptops are powered by an Intel Atom processor, the only chip the platform currently supports. Recent rumors have suggest that Chrome OS may soon support ARM-based processors, however, opening up a number of new doors for the platform. According to the Chromium OS issue tracker, a new product code-named “Daisy” is mentioned numerous times, equipped a Samsung Exynos 5250 chip. Samsung’s 32nm chip will feature an ARM Cortex-A15 design and will be capable of running at speeds up to 2GHz — all while using less power than ARM Cortex-A9 chips and Intel Atom processors. The Chromium project is open-source, with user contributions playing a large roll in development. As such, the “Daisy” appearances do not necessarily mean Google is directly involved with the development.
