Saw this posted somewhere this week. Thought it looked interesting. http://cuppcomputing.com/
>From their blogs and press releases, they are aiming to have a device which is "Instant On" / Always Connected yet uses extremely low power and is also flexible/secure/etc. I believe it is a "non product" as of yet, but still being dreamt up. They are combining an x86 CPU with an ARM core. Of course, only Linux or BSD or a similar OS could be made to run on this thing seamlessly. It would be interesting to see what kind of kernel hacks are needed to "switch" the kernel from the x86 CPU to the ARM CPU when it comes time to run in ultra-low-power mode. There's also this: http://cuppcomputing.com/2011/05/punkthis-40-hour-computing/ where it looks like they want to retrofit this design into existing notebooks? That sounds impossible. There's no room to wedge something that big inside any notebook chassis. _______________________________________________ LinuxUsers mailing list LinuxUsers@socallinux.org http://socallinux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxusers
