Do a Google search on this, do you think it is real? I'm skeptical. Their "NvIOpRAM 24GB [3-pin]" on http://atomchip.com/_wsn/page3.html looks an awful lot like a standard stereo connector to me. Some of the closeups of the chips look photoshopped to me, and for a corporate website there's not much there. Besides, that much in a laptop? Maybe in a few years, but I'm just not seeing it.

Even I could do a better job editing and selecting images. Probably trolling for some unused .com money. May this Farce be with You ID: 164621 ·

Do a Google search on this, do you think it is real? I'm of two minds... 1. It's a (no-so-elaborate) prank, designed to snag an unwary investor. [OR] 2. It's legitimate and they are hiding the final design to prevent reverse-engineering (and someone beating them to market). A 6.8 GHZ processor and 1-TB memory solution are not outside the realm of manufacturing, but it would take some significant re-tooling of current production methodologies to achieve it using the current model. I don't think this individual has the (fiscal) resources to 're-invent the wheel' in such a short span of time. Hopefully, he will prove (the naysayers) wrong, but I'm not going to hold my breath until a working prototype (whose 'tires' I can 'kick') is put in front of me.

Do a Google search on this, do you think it is real? looked serious but its just a prototype they plan on showing at the 2006 consumer electronics show. there have only been a million inventions anounced and never shipped or even made it to show.

EVERY SINGLE website I have ever been to has a copyright notice at the bottom. On that site, there is not one copyright notice anywhere that I found. Also you'd think that when they have patents pending they would secure their website with copyright notices. -matt "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759.

Google is not very verbose about that. It was announced as a Pentium-M killer, but regarding the floating point speed of it's predecessors I can hardly believe that. Is a C7-M 2GHz comparable to a Athlon XP 2000+ in terms of speed? Would be a quantum leap vor VIA. I know, the C7 is not yet released but maybe there are some kind of "insider information" :-)) ID: 164758 ·
