OLPC Drops AMD Chips for Via

A laptop by child Friday regenerated his material of laptop XO-1, emptying notches of Advanced Micro Devices in favour of the processors from the intermediary of technologies.

The non-profit-making one will now use via 'processor of S C7-M instead of AMD 'processor of S Geode to actuate the laptop, the civils servant of OLPC declared in a post on the group 'Web site of S. the levelling is a part previously not revealed of an update of laptop that OLPC announced last year.

Via the processor will function at the frequencies of clock of between 400MHz and 1GHz, that OLPC considers a levelling above the processor of Geode LX in current laptops of XO. The improved material should improve the execution of system while drawing the similar quantities of power.

The laptop the 'single aspect of S gained 'the change of T, but via the processor will amplify its possibilities, the team of OLPC wrote. Via provides tiddlywinks which will include an engine of three-dimensional charts and a visual decoder with high-definition in a simple package.

In our uninterrupted effort to maintain a point of low price, OLPC regenerates the material to benefit from the late component civils servant, of technologies OLPC wrote in the post.

Advanced Micro Devices in January indicated that it envisages to eliminate the basic piece power of ageing from Geode, creating uncertainty about its use in the products like future laptops of XO.

The improved material adds also more memory and of storage. The laptops improved of XO will include 1GB RAM and between 4GB and 8GB of storage. The existing systems of XO include 256MB RAM and 1GB of storage.

The systems will become available to examine in August. A date for forwardings of volume of the wasn of laptop of 't announced by OLPC.

With being used by children in the countries in the process of development, the laptop of XO was congratulated for its devices on material innovating and design favorable to the environment. In addition to this update of material, the organization works with the next generation of the material of XO -- XO-2 called -- what can use processors designed by ARM.
