Bwahahaha only an internet tech site would use a mobile Pentium M processor to show the comparative size of something ;)

i refer of course to the article on the Xbox 360 on the main page :cool:

Also at the back you have a very large power connector, to show you the size of it, we've placed a mobile Pentium M processor next to the connector:

I have to admit even as a person who takes a keen interest in all things technical i have no idea how big that CPU is without looking it up ;)

No No it's worse than just using a P-M which hardy anyone ever seen! They used a yonah which no one here has ever has or even knows size to give any point of reference. I would have used a athlon XP or like you say a coin which everyone knows it's size.

This confused the heck out of me. I was like the XBOX uses a pentium M? I thought it used a powerPC or something?

Then I saw they where using the pentium M as a size scale?

Had to laugh even though all the pictures are useless.

LOL. I think Anand just wanted to show off that he had the chip. We've been sitting on it since August but no motherboards :(

I changed my mind. Forget the SI-120 - I want to see a size comparison with a stuffed animal representation of Dug's crab avatar :eek:
