CherryPal announces two-watt, Freescale-based cloud computer
Posted by Jo on 06/19 at 08:52 AM
It looks like the current ranks of green PCs are soon going to have some pretty daunting competition for the low-power throne, with upstart CherryPal announcing that it’s about to bust out a cloud computer that’ll consume a mere two watts of power. To hit that mark, CherryPal opted for Freescale’s new 400MHz MPC5121e mobileGT processor, and eliminated all the moving parts normally found in a PC, which means no optical drive and 4GB of NAND flash memory in place of a regular hard drive. Otherwise, you can expect to get 256MB of RAM, built-in 802.11b/g WiFi, two USB 2.0 ports, an Ethernet port, and a VGA port, with a “tweaked version” of Debian apparently serving as the OS. No word on a price just yet, but the company is boldly proclaiming that it’ll be the “most affordable on the market.”
