Intel To Draw The Line

Intel To Draw The Line

Intel resigned from the board of directors of One Laptop Per Child Project after rejecting a request to abandon its Classmate PC program, according to a source close to the project. The departure of Intel from the OLPC board means ending effort to create a version of the XO Dell Vostro 1500 battery based on Intel processors, the source said. OLPC has tried to increase the number of orders of the XO laptop.

However, a high price, now close to $ 200 instead of the originally cost $ 100, has not helped the group to penetrate the governments of developing countries with low budgets. Computer Intel Classmate PC is a low-cost Dell Vostro 1510 battery designed for students from developing countries and competes against OLPC's XO laptop, which is based on a microprocessor from Advanced Micro Devices.

Intel and OLPC agreed in July to work together to develop technology for low-cost laptops and end with the differences in their offerings of laptops. As part of the agreement, Intel got a place on the board of directors of OLPC and the two sides of the Dell Vostro 1520 battery began talking about creating a version of the XO based on an Intel processor. At the same time, OLPC also explored the possibility of using an Arm processor from Marvell in another version of the XO.

But during discussions in the months following the deal, OLPC founder Nicholas Negroponte insisted that Intel abandon the Classmate PC project for providing support for the OLPC XO device, the source said. But the Dell Vostro 1700 battery is being tested in several countries and Intel was not prepared to cancel these efforts. In an email, OLPC President Walter Bender said other factors also contributed to breaking relations with Intel, including "a total lack of cooperation by Intel respects as software, training."

Our evaluation of the PC-based desktop Penryn showed an increase in performance compared to systems based on processors from Intel's previous high, but less than Intel indicated. Dell Inspiron 14 battery is equipped with Penryn were not available at the time of closing our lab tests. Keep visiting to see the results of the tests as soon as we have them.
