| AMD Roadshow 2005 Paris - 10/25/05 - Part 2 |
 |
| On a sunny day we went to the Espace Cardin, a famous exhibition place facing the US Ambassy in Paris. Last stop of a six stage roadshow for AMD retailers and distributors, the Paris version started at 12.30PM precise with a welcome drink and a bag full of AMD documents and goodies... |

The working sample was a Geode 1500+ that was running on ECS Geode board. As you can see on the following picture, the PC has its standard PSU disconnected and get its power supply from a simple 30W A/C converter that allow to have a totally fanless machine. Thanks to multimedia hard-coded instructions, this version of Geode is said to be very good in all multimedia applications, making it an ideal candidate for totally silent Multimedia Centers. The working sample has no hard disk drive and loaded linux O/S and MPC program straight from a simple 64MB USB flash memory! Once loaded, we played a full screen DVD in stereo without a problem while the CPU copper radiator was barely hot! According to Elite, Multimedia Center based on that design should see the light very soon and the company is very enthusiastic about the new Geode performances and the potential it represents in the market in term of price and quality... |
