AMD Moves Closer To Linux PDA

Posted by simoniker on from the portable-penguin-power dept.

Ryan writes "Mobilemag is reporting that AMD has advanced the prototype design of their current Linux-based PDA handheld, adding full-screen video capabilities, and completing work on the device's battery charger. The device is based on AMD's 400MHz Alchemy 1100 processor." However, "AMD has yet to find a hardware maker that has committed to bringing the Alchemy-based reference design to market as a commercial product."

    I honestly don't understand why this is rated "funny". Not only is this joke old, but AMD chips have been *less* power hungry than the competition (i.e. Intel) for a long time. Even more so with the next generation (AMD64 vs. P4EE/Prescott).
