RE: another suggestion (from Yahoo): SFF = Smaller Form Factor

This seems to be the most reasonable explanation so far.

Agreed. So does this mean AMD is starting up a new line of embedded processors? I wonder if they'll run in the previous infrastructure or if it'll take all new hardware. Did a search on 'small form factor' on AMD's site and found this link (among many others):

amd.com

EDIT: the search results have a date of "05 Feb 01" on that link, although the page itself doesn't show a date.

I know pretty close to zero about embedded stuff, but it does seem like the most reasonable explanation for SFF so far.

Anyone in the know care to elaborate on the possibilities?

JJ

Andreas,

SFF = Smaller Form Factor
This seems to be the most reasonable explanation so far.

How do you explain it? The processor has to be Socket A, so I don't know how it could be any smaller. And if AMD is using something like .15u, I don't think they would be advertising it this way.

Joe
