Is there a pico mother bd. with AMD`s Ilanos cpu?

<< < (3/3)

SunBurnt:
Compaq makes router sized PCs with 9 watt Atoms in them.
Expensive and pretty gutless as the Atom is a weakling.

The slower a cpu runs ( ghz ) you can turn down the voltage.
So it doesn`t get as hot and uses a smaller fan or none at all.
The specs for cpu`s say what their operating envelope is.
Low volts to high volts, and low hertz to high hertz.

hiro:
to date? It's got only 400MHz

hi

i am not sure what your last post means hiro

i think that now, the only reasonable fanless desktop
cpu (apu) that exists at quad core,   are these Llano chips from AMD.

(but i am not really sure if they are fanless quad core chips or not)

i imagine they DO need a fan. Only the lower end desktop models of
llano (2 core) don't need a fan. ( i recall reading that)

The only cpu i ever knew about that was fanless was the centrino.

Ofcourse, ARM chips are fanless in slates............... and also in things like that
Thin Slice desktop computer using arm cpu cores....

I have seen the odd netbook that is fanless using a RISC cpu chip and
running windows XP.  (sold on ebay)

but for desktops, i have not really seen the fanless world only with those
very tiny atom machines that are made by many brands. (but they are not quad core)

You can buy standard power supplies for desktops that are
fanless for about 100 dollars. Then you can cool any quad core chip using a special
"large heat block" that costs about 30 dollars. (or water cooled)

anyway, i look forward to quad core slates real soon  (they say) and quad core
fanless desktops.

My Celeron with 400MHz is a very old Desktop.
I also had a thinkpad x20 which would run fanless (fan broke so I removed it) without any issues.
For power you can use the picopsu.

Hello

The picopsu is interesting.

The Picopsu are new on ebay.com at $20.

You then need an extra power brick which plugs into your wall and feeds DC power to the Picopsu.

That power brick supplies an output of 12 volts DC at 60 watts to the Picopsu.

The power bricks are $10 new on ebay.com.

I did not really know what a pico motherboard was. I guesse it's a few steps below "micro ATX" form factor.
