'real' Pandora Clone?

[dgame]

What is Craig referring to?

So, apparently next week we will see the first 'real' Pandora clone. It could be X86...

Probably something that we'll have no clue about until next week. I'm more interested in why Craig knows about it.

 

[Fzero]

Not talking about the new KS project?


That'll be going live about next week won't it?

How is it in any way a clone if it has an x86?

 

[Exophase]

Probably not a clone in the sense that it runs the same software, just a similar device, ie handheld with gaming controls and a keyboard, perhaps also a clamshell.

interested...

Unless craig has finally found a way to clone evildaragon. Then he could get his clones to do all the work whilst he nonchalantly sips iced coffees.

About time. Just like the tablet concept was waiting for a company like apple to show its real potential.

 

[Binky]

How are they planning to clone the pandora's battery life with an x86 CPU?

And in one of those strange coincidences, along comes a new x86 thingy...

That's the real Pandora clone that could be x86? I don't think so.


Nor is it Razr i, of course.

Apparently it's using intels new 10watt cpu & it is the Pandora form factor. Whatever it is.

That Ocosmos thing finally surfacing?

Apparently it's using intels new 10watt cpu & it is the Pandora form factor. Whatever it is.

What new 10W CPU? Haswell? Even N2800 Cedar Trail is only 6.5W. 10W is too much for something Pandora's size.

10w could have been a mistake from the source, maybe they meant 1w. Maybe it does not even exist.

The only ultra-low-powered CPU from Intel that I've heard about recently was some experimental chip, they simply fiddled with the old Pentium design and clocked it down until they reached some level that might be useful for micro controllers, they claimed it could be driven with over 1GHz and a reasonable power consumption as well - nothing really impressive, though.

the pandora 2 needs a x86 coprocessor for qemu

Z2460?


while it's a pretty bad choice in a phone in my opinion, on a gaming device running on linux it would be just great, i'dd choose that over a pandora anytime just for the pc game support achievable through wine
