Can Intel Deliver 2 Second OS Boot Times?

For some time now Intel has been working on a Linux-based operating system (now in its alpha stage of testing), named Moblin. The goal of Moblin is to provide the Atom CPU a light and fast OS that is far less demanding than a full version of Windows.

so you mean the $1000 dollar price tag for my i7 not worth it? LOL.

table5505d ago

depends if it is compatible with an RXD update.

N4g_null5505d ago

DragonWarrior_4 you paid $1000 dollar, wow man your a sucker. Any good i7 should cost you around $300 yet if you are getting an extreme then you deserve to pay that much LOL.

Nice.

Although I think Android may end up being quite popular as well. HP are looking at deploying it on their Netbooks

That's already possible today with Splashtop enabled motherboards. Those boot a linux kernel and a complete SW suite (incl. desktop, Skype, Mozilla, etc.) before the BIOS even starts - in about 2-4 sec. from pressing the on button. http://www.splashtop.com/

Yeah your right Ju this has been possible for a while. Expensive but possible even hot swappable.

Ju5505d ago

Expensive in what way ? Mine came with my Asus MB. Well, Splashtop (or ExpressGate) boots out of ROM and does not allow to access HDDs (which it could, if they wanted to, I guess). But its still a full blown OS which boots there. Its not meant to replace the whole OS, that would possibly require a dedicated HW which runs just Splashtop, but Intels Atom design is a custom PC anyway (and so is NVidias tiny Atom platform). So, using that OS (or any derivate of Linux in that regards) would work.

i feel like a majority has been blaming Sony and not Arrowhead.
just what ive seen.

Same, not sure where they were looking

Arrowhead's CEO is awesome and so transparent; they're demonstrating they're a gamer-first studio and will stand by our side even with a publishing partner as big as Sony.

I haven't seen anyone blaming Arrowhead except the dumb "but you knew!" takes... Which are useless, it's still the publisher that listed it for sale in unsupported countries.
