Let's just hope it lives upto the brand name (pun intended)

ManISinJpr · 11-11-2009

Why shy about this . with amd this is the BAAP of that apple mini
now if this priced right ! and launched in India. a perfect htpc there for you , zotac has competition.
I would prefer this anyday to the Atom one for sure.

rpm19050 · 11-11-2009

that' a good number of usb ports. do you guys think this device could handle six peripherals connected? that is excluding the kb and mouse?

if yes, and if the price is right...this will replace the p4 workhorse back home.mom tells me it' "garibi dawa" to have such a huge machine at home..

I guess this can play Full HD - am I right? Is its power comparable to the ION???

No doubts about the cute factor ! Especially the colors.

Dell and AMD? This has got to be one of those rare moments. Perhaps they were too burned by that nVidia die debacle to bother with Ion.

You're joking, right? The Mini has a P8600 on the base model. It'll eat this for breakfast and come back for seconds. In fact, compared to the Mini, this is very poor value.

Against Ion, on the other hand, only benches will tell. It's certainly a lot beefier in terms of footprint but I can't recall ever seeing performance benches for these chips. But considering that it's not an embedded chip, the comparison isn't exactly fair. The Atom 330 has an 8W TDP while this has 22W. That's nearly triple the power consumed by the CPU alone.

I dont know about you guys, i think it looks sweet !
Better specs would have done wonders though...

ManISinJpr · 11-11-2009

Well this processor is rated at a nice spot on the bench charts

stonedsurd · 11-11-2009

Bloody hell, I can't even see it in that maze of colors

SignOps · 11-11-2009

How much would a comparable DIY version cost?

stonedsurd · 11-11-2009

They aren't sold at retail. The cheapest you might be able to do is get a barebones from some OEM and fill i out according to your specs.

Jinu · 11-11-2009

Well there are 3 version of this thing:
Version 1
AMD A64 2650E 1.6GHz 512k
Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64bit, English
2048MB Dual Channel DDR2 800MHz [2x1024] Memory
320GB (7200rpm) SATA Hard Drive

This costs about EURO 329 that almost 23K INR

Version 2
AMD X2 3250E 1.5GHz 512k
Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64bit, English
3072MB Dual Channel DDR2 800MHz [1x2048 + 1x1024] Memory
500GB (7,200rpm) Serial ATA Hard Drive

This costs about EURO 596 that almost 42K INR

Version 3
AMD X2 6850E 1.8GHz 512k Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64bit, English
6144MB Dual Channel DDR2 800MHz [1x2048 + 1x4096] Memory
1TB (7200rpm) SATA Hard Drive

This costs about EURO 854 that almost 60K INR

So take your pick

v2 is the one to watch. v3 is too expensive and v1 is a lemon.

The sad part is that v2 is priced against the Mac Mini and loses out almost everywhere.
