The big news would be if Intel gave their support to
Dothan + Alviso on the desktop, or for the SFF market. It would - and create a broad P-M offering in that area. o DFI, AOpen have retail-ish boards ---- although hard to find o Commell & others have Mini-itx/SBC/EBC boards ---- although pricey, there IS a good niche here What's lacking is a critical mass of uptake: o EPIA is ~225$US/~£150 for 1.2Ghz, CF/PCMCIA & 12V input ---- which importantly includes the CPU o P-M is ~350$US/~£189 without the CPU, 12V input ---- but importantly is about 4-5x faster The P-M is fantastic re CPU-v-Heat in SFF/Embedded, but there's precious little uptake in retail & "proven platform". The P4-M is a lot cheaper, at least on CPU as well as board. The new P-M chipset will help matters - although actual end product offering such may lag being industrial mkt aimed. A Dual-Core P4 is great, but the P-M has notable potential. -- Dorothy Bradbury |
