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

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
