On: Core i5 and i3 CPUs With On-Chip GPUs Launched

After looking closer, the board is only fanless in the pictures. The box contains a 60mm fan for the CPU.

Didn't know there was ION boards with dual core Atoms and passive cooling. Time for a late Christmas gift for myself.

Re:Video decoding under Linux

On: Core i5 and i3 CPUs With On-Chip GPUs Launched

I'm currently running a HTPC based on a AMD Athlon 64 X2 4850e on a 780G based motherboard. All media is stored on a NAS. This setup works great for 720p, but it's not as silent as I'd like. I've seen a few postings about XBMC on BeagleBoard, but it doesn't seem to be in a functional state as of yet. What I'd really like is to have a passively cooled box that's able to play 1080p H.264.

When a building reaches a certain size however, the transportation system inside the building starts to become a problem. How tall can a building be built before all the space gets eaten up by elevator shafts?

Video decoding under Linux

What's the state of video decoding support under Linux for these integrated GPUs? I've been looking for something to update my HTPC with...

This is only the networking divisions, not the phone divisions. It won't affect the phone development at all. (At least not in the current network generations)

AFAIK this seems to be just the networking divisions, not the phone divisions. Not anything that normal people will notice in other words.
