AMD intros 500MHz, one watt desktop Geode device

CHIP FIRM AMD said it has introduced a Geode microprocessor which needs less than one watt of power and supports Windows XP and X86 architecture.

We reported AMD was readying new Geodes in January this year, codenamed Castle, Snowmass and Dragonfly, here.

The LX800@.9 chip could be used in notebooks or desktops, has a DDR interface and supports USB 2.0.

The chip costs $45 if you buy 10,000 of them all at once, and has a clock speed of 500MHz. Which isn't bad. It doesn't have a PR rating. Yet. µ
