Of course it was theme χρόνου να γίνει ο γνωστός desktop υπολογιστής ένα και μοναδικό ολοκληρωμένο εξάρτημα. Δεν μπορούσαμε όμως να φανταστούμε το άλμα που θα έκανε η Intel και από το laptop βρέθηκε σε υπολογιστή με μέγεθος μίας κάρτα SD, παραλείποντας όλα τα ενδιάμεσα βήματα.
Of course you will tell us there are tablets, smartphones, watches, glasses etc but here we are talking about a complete Pentium computer, so the step is huge.
The international CES 2014 online exhibition is being held in Las Vegas, Nevada, Intel's Brian Krzanich has announced Edison, "a complete Pentium-class computer" that is the size and shape of an SD card that can even be inserted into your camera.
According to the company, it is powered by a dual-core Quark SOC, runs Linux, and has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
To demonstrate Edison's capabilities, Intel presented a possible concept with the name "Nursery 2.0". In this idea, a baby was wearing one onesie Mimo equipped with tracking sensors as well as other things like temperature, και το Edison χρησιμοποιήθηκε για να απεικόνισει όλες τις σχετικές πληροφορίες, σε μία κούπα brown !!. When the baby is fine, there will be flashing lights on the cup showing a happy green smiley face, but when something is wrong then the face turns red.
But to do so, Edison must first get their hands on the developers, so we probably have a long time to look at the shelves on the market.
