The article says: "In September 1995 she started with National Semiconductor as Chief Operating Officer, after being lured from IBM by Gil Amelio. However it was not long after that Amelio left to take the CEO position at Apple Computer, and he soon hired her to join him there, introducing her to the Mac community and thus the world beyond the relatively insular technology industry." Uh, Apple is in the technology industry.

How could she have 19 quarters of record growth if she were at Exodus less than four years? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.104.133.121 (talk) 19:14, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This must be a piece that was written by Ellen... spin spin spin — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.62.71.254 (talk) 02:03, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Apple is in the technology industry, but, unlike the networking division of IBM, which largely built stuff for nerds, and National Semiconductor, which made chips and sold them to nerds, Apple sold stuff to consumers and more artsy professionals. Perhaps that's what they meant. Guy Harris (talk) 19:27, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

CompactRISC a predecessor of "ARM7"?

The article makes that claim, and the citation it gives says

Ellen Hancock was Executive Vice President and COO of National Semiconductor from September 1995 to May 1996 where she worked with Dr. Amelio to shape National's strategy to profitability. During that time she demonstrated an extensive knowledge of the microcontroller marketplace and contributed to the development of the CompactRISC roadmap, a forerunner of the ARM7 architecture (editor's note: I was Product Marketing Manager of the CompactRISC group at that time).

So what is "the ARM7 architecture"? Is it the ARM7 core, so that the CompactRISC microarchitecture was a forerunner of the ARM7 microarchitecture? Or is it the ARMv7 instruction set architecture, the latest version with existing implementations, as used in the Cortex cores? The ARM instruction set architecture first appeared in the mid 1980's, so if CompactRISC is a forerunner of the ARMv7 instruction set architecture, presumably ARM picked up ideas from CompactRISC and added them to the instruction set later (are they thinking of Thumb?).

In any case, I'll change "predecessor to" to the weaker "forerunner of". Guy Harris (talk) 19:36, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
