Intel Atom CE4100 unveiled – this thing is a beast!
At IDF 2009, Intel announced a new Atom processor, Atom CE4100 media chip. This chip is designed to run on set-top boxes and Blue-ray players. It is the most powerful Atom chip ever made by Intel.
When we say that it is powerful, we really mean it. It has the ability to take two 1080p video streams simultaneously, 3D rendering and much more.
It even supports capturing uncompressed 1080p video including support for almost all the high-end audio codecs. However, Intel has no plans to bring to netbooks or nettops. Gratifying, but looks like, we have no choice, but to settle with ION chipsets from Nvidia
Dell Mini 10v now being offered with Moblin Linux OS – World’s First Moblin Netbook
At IDF 2009, Dell announced to offer the Dell Mini 10v with Moblin Linux OS (they are instead using the name “Ubuntu Moblin Remix Developer Edition”). This makes it the first Moblin netbook and will start selling it on 24 September 2009 at the price tag of $299.
As its name suggests, the Dell Mini 10v is targeted towards the developers and not for the average consumer, which is weird as Moblin OS is one fo the most polished Linux OS ever made for netbooks. On a weird note, the bluetooth does not work on the Dell Mini 10V even though it has BT onboard.
For those who do not know about Moblin, it is a project by Intel to bring optimized Linux OS to the mobile devices.
