"Intel announces Edison, a computer the size of an SD card"

[Sidiox]

so this is where Haswell is best, low power consumption, great power (for its size) I would like to see a micro usb connector on it though,, wireless is nice but it fucks up a lot

[krushsawa]

I kinda like computers as they are now, you have to option to customize, upgrade and show off your rigs.

This would be very difficult with something like this, however for mobile computing and maybe tablet-like systems this may be something its all going to shift towards

This is great for those lego modular phones companies are trying to make lol.

[ygohome]

how is the keyboard flex and can I get it with a docking station?

[Astralify]

And what happens when you drop it somewhere and you can't find it? lol That would suck... Cool stuff, though.

[Eyal]

I wonder how many of those could be fitted into a full ATX tower

Over 9000!

[Thedeadhp]

full pentium class machine... Pentium 1 MAYBE with MMX tech

[daddy7860]

I hope they'll redesign Glass and integrate a computer into it. If they can shrink a computer to this size, they can shrink a DSLR too :3

[samuel]

Let me plug that usb port.... Oh wait...

[Aliz101]

Mind=blown

[winny3141]

Obviously not its got no dedicated gpu and is "pentium class" :3 

 But can it run Doom?

[Cwazywazy]

Would it be possible to sort of combine a bunch of these for maximum power? Imagine a computer case with 1000 of these things working together.

It would be cool to see a docking bay the size of a smart phone that you plug these modular SoC's into. Instead of it being an entire system in one card, one "SD Card" is dedicated towards graphics, one towards ram, etc... and you just plug them into the slots in a base station. If you need to upgrade to a better processor down the line, you just buy a new processor "SD card". So like Razer's Project Christine, but on this small of a level.

This is pretty nice but wonder how much it would cost. But this would be great for users who just do web browsing.

It's like living in the future!

Basically Project Ara and PhoneBloks (both for phones)

Essentially.

CES is more exciting than Christmas.

You have that right.

[Socky]

If it is 64-bit and has 1gb of ram put it in phones NOW 

[Nallown]

Where do I...??? Where does it go???... the cables, can't find the hubs
