I love you.

I really do.

But if you steal XFX and eVGA from nVIDIA, and screw up support on my new GTX 280 SLI system...

Lets just say things will get real hot in Santa Clara.

I'M TALKING NO THERMAL PASTE HOT.]]>Jul 24th 2008 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/intel-announces-ep80579-system-on-a-chip-for-mids-and-consumer-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/intel-announces-ep80579-system-on-a-chip-for-mids-and-consumer-e/
For the first time ever.

and I really hope they don't bring back the Celeron.]]>Jul 24th 2008 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/intel-announces-ep80579-system-on-a-chip-for-mids-and-consumer-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/intel-announces-ep80579-system-on-a-chip-for-mids-and-consumer-e/
All of those capital letters pushed together are abbreviations, not acronyms, save perhaps for MID; but I don't know anyone that pronounces it "mid."

An acronym creates a new word, like SCUBA, or NASA. "ICH" is not a word, unless you want to start saying "ick."

Surely you knew this from your journalistic background, but I'm just saying.]]>Jul 24th 2008 10:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/intel-announces-ep80579-system-on-a-chip-for-mids-and-consumer-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/intel-announces-ep80579-system-on-a-chip-for-mids-and-consumer-e/
No embedded video, no ram, no wifi, no cell data, but 3 GigE controllers and a T1 controller.

I doubt this will be used in any MID's.]]>Jul 24th 2008 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/intel-announces-ep80579-system-on-a-chip-for-mids-and-consumer-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/intel-announces-ep80579-system-on-a-chip-for-mids-and-consumer-e/
Pretty weird choice of ports IMHO.. but interesting. Yet, as you mention, nothing close of a MID or consumer electronics... Man.. there's even a CAN bus!

Cheers,

Agreed, we'll probably have to wait for Moorestown until Intel SoCs are usable in mids.

The 80579 is the kind of thing you'd put in a multifunction router/firewall/ssl accelerator/ipsec gateway/voip box and possibly other network appliances that would need 3*GigE and a decent cpu. ]]>Jul 24th 2008 10:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/intel-announces-ep80579-system-on-a-chip-for-mids-and-consumer-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/intel-announces-ep80579-system-on-a-chip-for-mids-and-consumer-e/Jul 24th 2008 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/intel-announces-ep80579-system-on-a-chip-for-mids-and-consumer-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/intel-announces-ep80579-system-on-a-chip-for-mids-and-consumer-e/Jul 24th 2008 11:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/intel-announces-ep80579-system-on-a-chip-for-mids-and-consumer-e/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/intel-announces-ep80579-system-on-a-chip-for-mids-and-consumer-e/Thank you for building a embedded systems processor. Especially one with a TDM interface. Freescale needs some competition.
