Can Intel Deliver 2 Second OS Boot Times?

For some time now Intel has been working on a Linux-based operating system (now in its alpha stage of testing), named Moblin. The goal of Moblin is to provide the Atom CPU a light and fast OS that is far less demanding than a full version of Windows.

so you mean the $1000 dollar price tag for my i7 not worth it? LOL.

table6238d ago

depends if it is compatible with an RXD update.

N4g_null6237d ago

DragonWarrior_4 you paid $1000 dollar, wow man your a sucker. Any good i7 should cost you around $300 yet if you are getting an extreme then you deserve to pay that much LOL.

Jdoki6237d ago

Nice.

Although I think Android may end up being quite popular as well. HP are looking at deploying it on their Netbooks

Ju6237d ago

That's already possible today with Splashtop enabled motherboards. Those boot a linux kernel and a complete SW suite (incl. desktop, Skype, Mozilla, etc.) before the BIOS even starts - in about 2-4 sec. from pressing the on button. http://www.splashtop.com/

N4g_null6237d ago

Yeah your right Ju this has been possible for a while. Expensive but possible even hot swappable.

Ju6237d ago

Expensive in what way ? Mine came with my Asus MB. Well, Splashtop (or ExpressGate) boots out of ROM and does not allow to access HDDs (which it could, if they wanted to, I guess). But its still a full blown OS which boots there. Its not meant to replace the whole OS, that would possibly require a dedicated HW which runs just Splashtop, but Intels Atom design is a custom PC anyway (and so is NVidias tiny Atom platform). So, using that OS (or any derivate of Linux in that regards) would work.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing10d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit10d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing10d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9210d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
