ARM CEO says ‘Yes the iPhone has three ARMs’

Yet more people have been making a stab at just what is in the Apple iPhone and one guy who should know is the CEO of ARM, Warren East, who stood up this week and said that the iPhone had at least three ARM cores inside it, but would say no more.

So we are no closer to knowing if the device uses a Marvell or Samsung chip or any other manufacturer, since ARM has about 200 licensees.

In the meantime, in an interview in Business Week, the head of EA Mobile, formerly games specialist Jamdat, said that the company is in talks with Apple about introducing games on the iPhone, something that everyone at Apple is sure to be thinking about one way or another, since most phones of this type have at least some kind of gaming.

EA and Apple have already launched several successful games for the iPod which can be bought from iTunes, but Apple won’t yet be drawn on either the future of games on the device or the technology that’s in it. Probably busy getting it delivered first.
