How can production costs vary so drastically simply because the product
being manufacturered has a lower operating frequency? All other
peripherials are just the same.
I haven't seen the actual specs, only the general PR stuff published
on this and other lists. An HCL guy (let me refer to him as a ;-)
reliable source) told me prelaunch that the product takes advantage
of the massive economies of scale in purchasing that HCL achieves.
Specific to our conversation, they have an 14" LCD screen bought at
unbelievably competitive prices because the flavour of the month is
15" screens.
btw, on another thread (it really is a lot of trouble to cut and
paste correctly from digests), someone (I think it was Rony) asked
about the logic of using a 300W board to play MP3s through a 50W amp:
I think desktops drawing 300W include the monitor. The current draw
of the plain board will be much lower, maybe sub-50W.
