I would like to see this on mobile phones, iPods*, cameras than on a PC.

These are meant to create powerful pocket devices that have the full x86 functionality (but not upgradability!) of a standard PC. In other words, this isn't a PC that is replacing your gaming desktop at home; this is a PC that is going to replace your cellphone/PDA.

No PCI express? No PCI? No SLi? Why not ask that of any UMPC, MID, RIM or iPhone device?]]>Apr 3rd 2008 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/video-intel-reveals-moorestown-pc-motherboard-possibly-worlds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/video-intel-reveals-moorestown-pc-motherboard-possibly-worlds/
We shouldn't fear miniaturization, because in the near term, our pc's will still be scores, if not hundreds, of times more powerful than most mobile devices.

Take the iPhone: it broke ground on the way people are beginning to think about their portable devices. But behind the GUI, there have been a host of problems. iPhone-only websites (how Web2.0 is that?). Poor initial SDK, and still limited development support. Limited hardware/accessory support. The point isn't to segregate services or functionality, or to reinvent it because you choose proprietary technology. Everything already works on x86, it's just not all that portable. Until now.

This could forseeably pair well with Android: a-la-carte software development with a-la-carte hardware requirements. "Build your own portable device", suited perfectly to your own needs, and integrated seemlessly with your existing technology. And all at relatively low cost.]]>Apr 3rd 2008 1:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/video-intel-reveals-moorestown-pc-motherboard-possibly-worlds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/video-intel-reveals-moorestown-pc-motherboard-possibly-worlds/Apr 3rd 2008 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/video-intel-reveals-moorestown-pc-motherboard-possibly-worlds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/video-intel-reveals-moorestown-pc-motherboard-possibly-worlds/

It's the second gen chipset to be used with atom for VERY small laptop PC's with VERY long life.

Also, what's wrong with this? I like the idea of having my cell phone run like my PC does....and who says we'll be using PCI-E and internal cards by 2010. For all we know we could port everything to external equipment to be used through bluetooth, wifi or usb etc. Your PC could simply be a small box with a mobo and a processor/some memory. Someone also mentioned PCs not being upgradeable....and? Many laptops are nowhere close to as upgradeable as computers, and they still sell like hotcakes. Some people even prefer laptops over computers. There's even a market for these all in one pcs now, some that run on laptop boards. Nothing's wrong with a firmware upgradeable device. Who out of us upgrades their system piece by piece? I may buy a hard drive or more ram...maybe a better CD/DVD drive. CPU and Memory would really have no reason to be soldered into an after market/retail mobo, so I don't see that happening. The fact is, PCI slots are not entirely necessary for anything but GPUs now, and since those may soon be ported to CPU like chips then, hey who knows...slotless boards may come sooner than later. 'Upgradeable' can easily pertain to external devices nowadays. Most things you find inside a PC(except for CPU/RAM) can be found outside a PC now. I for one, prefer my hard drives and such external. And there are pretty kickass sound systems that are usb now. Only video needs to catch up on that front....otherwise you have wireless, bluetooth, more usb slots, etc. etc. all able to be hooked up externally.

Our cellphones, umpcs and mp3 players are all devices with often one board inside along with a processor and memory and they're generally pretty reliable. As long as smaller or 'integrated' doesn't mean less powerful/slow in comparison to/plain crappy or more expensive, then I don't have a problem.

Anyway, my point is that I think it's progress. Eventually PCs as small as say, the mac mini may be as powerful as say, a Tower with 4 cpus, 4 gpus and lots and lots of pci cards. ]]>Apr 3rd 2008 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/video-intel-reveals-moorestown-pc-motherboard-possibly-worlds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/video-intel-reveals-moorestown-pc-motherboard-possibly-worlds/Apr 3rd 2008 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/video-intel-reveals-moorestown-pc-motherboard-possibly-worlds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/video-intel-reveals-moorestown-pc-motherboard-possibly-worlds/Apr 3rd 2008 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/video-intel-reveals-moorestown-pc-motherboard-possibly-worlds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/video-intel-reveals-moorestown-pc-motherboard-possibly-worlds/Apr 3rd 2008 11:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/video-intel-reveals-moorestown-pc-motherboard-possibly-worlds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/video-intel-reveals-moorestown-pc-motherboard-possibly-worlds/Apr 3rd 2008 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/video-intel-reveals-moorestown-pc-motherboard-possibly-worlds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/video-intel-reveals-moorestown-pc-motherboard-possibly-worlds/Remember, its just a motherboard.
