I'm starting to question Intel and their accuracy. The first link you provided says it is a dual core setup. But if you follow the link from the quote, and click on specification, you find out it is single core. It also a single thread chip. That starts making it not so interesting. I also question the low power claim, I don't think they have qualify it to cover what that means. The CPU page says it is 2.2 watts. Problem I have with that is that you can't have much power in the wifi or bluetooth and still stay under 2.2 watts. I wonder how sensitive the radios are with that little power. Only thing I see going for it is size, but compute power for power isn't yet on par with the ARM SoC parts. -- Steven Critchfield [email protected] -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
