According to this article, it might be right around the corner. Just in time for Step 5.

Well as ARM is just a design company it needs manufacturers to license it and build it. Until then it's a design

I guess I would be more excited, but they're aiming for the single core Atom that came out in 2008...

Folks, please, less Engadget, more RTFA

According to Eric Schorn, an ARM VP of marketing quoted by EETimes Europe, the 800MHz Osprey will outperform the 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270. Meanwhile, the 2.0GHz Osprey will outperform the N270 by 250 percent, Schorn is said to have added.
800 MHz Osprey under full load: 0.25W/core, 0.5W total
2.0 GHz Osprey under full load: 1.9W total

So what they said is that they plan on doing a dual core ARM that is TWO AND A HALF TIMES FASTER THAN N270 while still using less power, or, for handhelds, something AS FAST AS THE N270 BUT AT <20% OF THE ATOM'S POWER REQUIREMENTS.

Engineering samples should be coming in volume in the first half of 2010. Probably wont see a consumer device until late 2010 or 2011.

Sigh.

Less fanboy, more up to date comparisons.

N270/ was announced and obtainable in 2008. Let's talk about the Atom 3/Pineville. Compare to that instead.

Seriously, I'm happy ARM is doing something worthwhile. But as it stands, you're talking about 1.9W - let's see the standard 1500mAh battery keep that running for a nice period of time.

And for the record, I don't like Intel Atom.
