Lol, I remember when I read the first news on this technology, skeptical is an understatement for sure!

I can?t quite understand why Atom thinks the old mentality of high frequency (Ghz) means it is a kingly processor, as this is far from the truth. Take the current state of affairs with AMD and Intel, on die features (instruction sets) + workload per clock = overall processor performance (aka SSE1/2/3 and IPC ?Instructions Per Clock), and of course they would have to licence instructions sets such as SSE from Intel. Quite evidentially this is an x86 derivative processor being that it runs windows, however it might be emulating x86 code (like Intel?s Intanum 64bit processor), and if this is the case this could produce quite the woeful performance, especially with regards to real world performance. It also makes me laugh because if this is indeed a born and bred x86 processor, then reaching a 6.8Ghz clock before the massive corporation ?Intel? can, and would mean they must be sacrificing something big to hit those numbers aka equivalent performance per clock against AMD and Intel counterparts.

I call shens on the company, until they send out products for review, and thus get a proper review of this technology. As simply releasing high numbers just doesn?t cut it!

EDIT: Spelling 😱

The thing that makes their claims so difficult to accept, aside from the basic improbability of it all, is the secrecy they insist on. Like anyone is going to figure out their technology from handling a laptop or a CF card.

LOL they are obviuosly not going to sell if to anyone for fear of their "secrets" being leaked out

I love it too, "Yeah, we have great technology here. Want to help us market and manufacture it?"
"Ok, but first we want to see it working for ourselves."
"No, you can't do that. Can we have some money now?"

1) Make Super Secret Technology (tm)
2) Don't let anyone see it
3) Profit!
