Embedded processors are a specific class of CPU. At least one, National's geode, could also be used to make a PC. Scumbria, the geode can run a full size pc with myriad programs? And with the exception of the geode, most embedded processors are too small and/or one function oriented? ted

RE: "National's geode" Hi Scumbria, Good to see your posts. Will Geode be a threat to Timna? Are these products targeting the same markets? [Edit: former is targeting webpads 60/120 designs per NSM thread] Geode (product name) = Joshua (code name), right? I'm hearing Geode (NSM) is well-liked (graphics, cost, etc.) by STB [Edit: correction- it was MediaGX the STB folks liked, will this apply to Geode? Probably more so (cost advantage of a PCOAC, etc.), right? Geode has the advantage of providing x86 consistency (vs. StrongARM). Where does Timna fit in the picture? How are these products different? [Edit: is Timna too high-powered/hot for a webpad? What's Timna's market? Laptops & inexpensive PCs like eMachines?] Your thoughts? Thanks, and cheers, Amy J
