A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
This is why technology is so great, its always expanding & I don't think it will ever stop. That small of a motherboard, just think of all the possible device could be developed with something that small. Phone would be quicker & more responsive, maybe gaming devices with more speed & processing power. Can't wait to see what the future holds for this motherboard. Nice find Engadget :D
That's a LOT to cram onto a single board of that size. Amazing. CPU, chipset (with integrated HD video and HD audio support, no doubt), RAM and storage memory, 3.5/3.75G cellular radios, WiFi (possibly WiMAX, too), BT, GPS, and who knows what else... I'd love to have all that beefed up, PC-level capability, speed, and power in a mobile device - all on one little chip!
Isn't the new nvidia card going to be called GT200 series?
But... will it blend?
the stuffed rabbit in the movie "The Last Mimzy" has Intel logo on it aswell...
Dwight from The Office is in it too, he's funny.
Test
who cares if you cant upgrade your computer? to hell if i had to pay for a new hard drive,i have a perfectly good one, and in no way do i want to loose all my bookmarks on Firefox, and WW3 would start if i had to pay for another version of windows if the one i have is perfectly fine. I don't need more speakers, don't need another power supply, don't need another set of fans, dont need another DVD burner/player, and i don't need another computer case. all i need is a 5.1 surround sound PCI card and maybie another graphics card.
i don't know why people don't upgrade computer parts, its way cheaper then anything else and is the only way you know what your really getting, and know your getting everything you need. maybe its like one book fahrenheit 451, everyone is just getting stupid.
he's declaring a pointer to an ipod
I for one welcome the new masters! J/K...anyway... i like the idea of small this kind of progress in technology. Imgaine the next Mars Rover or a faster smarter GPS device. Common we all know they are slow. Low power usage, all in one package smells ike a winner to me. For everyone worring about not haveing any kind of slots, heres some news for you: Both Intel and AMD are working on making multiple core chips and using some of the cores for graphics. I believe that intel is farther ahead in that front but it was AMD's idea to begin with. So either way the future holds no slot upgradeablity for the average consumer. If you are so inclined to wonder if this will run Vista....i wouldnt count on it because by that point there will already be another MS OS. I am in aw at mans progress in technology...never a dull moment!! Fight the norm i say and shoot for the stars because it is my belief that a computer smaller than that will control a craft that will take us there.
wtf is the difference between video and audio, and HD video and HD audio?
How about the novel name of SBC (Single Board Computer) in stead of the incorrect term "motherboard".
Upgrading a PC is an antiquated idea anyway. Processor speeds (and cores) are off the scales. Memory is cheaper than ever. 99.9% of new PC's will do anything you need them to do without upgrading (unless you're trying to run Vista..lol).
Cool to see more miniaturization though.
Enjoy.
Where's the VLB slot?
Nice. I got lost the other day and ended up in Moorestown, right on the edge of Mt. Laurel.
Looks nothing like the video.
@R1cebrner
Reminds me off the Mac Mini. Except for the wireless power part.
He should have pulled it out of his fifth jeans pocket, like when Jobs showed us the ipod nano.
really ,, someday we will find our kids loggin internet by glasses !! and we'll ignor what they do or watch !!!
@Neoprimal That was "The Last Mimzy"
But that aside, the possibilities this opens are amazing. Imagine a device the size of, as you guys said, an iPhone, but with the ability to run Windows XP or Vista at full speed, with decent 3D. Drop in a high resolution LED backlit screen, touch, and you get 720p or even 1080p HD video on a portable device. Portable HD player anyone? Or hey, you're on the subway, gotta kill 45 minutes, so you pull out your iPhone sized device and play a game with actual decent 3D. Moorestown will probably be using PowerVR developed chipsets like the Atom does, which will give us at least passable 3D performance. Now I'm not so sure about the idea of trying to play WoW on such a small device, but the ability to do so is at least intriguing. And hey, the PSP has a small screen that works wonderfully for games. All it would take is a decent UI refresh to make icons/text readable on a small screen, and I can honestly see myself on the metro playing Quake4 or something similar. Or a newer-ish Final Fantasy game. We shall see, but personally I'm excited.
