AMD Geode won't be in XO-2

Just a quick note this morning, that AMD will no longer be developing their Geode line of chips. This chip was the ultra-low voltage processor that powered the OLPC XO laptop and generally ran around 1W of power consumption (versus the 15W of other low-power alternatives offered by AMD)....

Taking It to the Next Level: The AMD Geode LX 800@0.9W Processor - Embedded X86 Processor Performance Rating System White Paper

Clock speed is not the only factor that goes into performance, and with this study it is shown that it is logical to rate a processor based on a suite of recognized benchmarks. Memory subsystem, graphics, bus speed, and instructions per clock cycle all play a role in overall performance....

From the ashes of Geode, AMD brings Bobcat with 1:1 possibilities

And, lower power consumption lowers prices across the board. Cheaper power supply, smaller cheaper batteries, less money spent on heat dissipation, and so on.Plus, you get a lighter weight computer.The sweet spot will probably be at about 11 inch screens with a close to full size keyboard.Errata: 800 Mhz...

From the ashes of Geode, AMD brings Bobcat with 1:1 possibilities

OLPC's first laptop, the XO has been both praised and criticized for many things. Perhaps most significant was its incredibly low power consumption, critical for use in areas with very limited electrical capacity. Key to this power consumption was the AMD Geode processor, an utterly anemic piece of...
