Looks like a nice option for those looking for a simple, cheap system. Very energy efficient too, same range as the Geode systems but less expensive and includes a keyboard ;)
according to their own estimations:
Marvell is shipping a new member of its Linux-ready Armada line of system-on-chips touted for delivering up to 1GHz performance while consuming less than a single Watt. A slower but more power-efficient version of the Armada 300, the Armada 310 offers 256KB L2 cache, plus PCI-express, gigabit Ethernet, and USB 2.0 connectivity, says the company....
Can someone tell me if there a difference between running a 1000 watt computer PSU and a 1000 watt light bulb? For instance, Im sure if you burn a 1000 watt light bulb youd burn the maximum amount of energy all the time (1000 watts).
Strategic Test announced a SODIMM-sized computer-on-module (COM) based on Freescale's ARM Cortex A8-based i.MX535 system-on-chip. Clocked at 1GHz, the 2.66 x 1.2-inch TX53 offers extensive I/O, including Ethernet and dual USB 2.0 ports, plus an available & Strategic Development Kit 5& baseboard, and a Linux BSP, says the company....
AppliedMicro is sampling the first member of a 1GHz Power Architecture (PowerPC) system-on-a-chip (SoC) family for network attached storage (NAS) devices and media servers.
