Chip PC Technologies announced a Linux version of its compact thin client. Based on an RMI Alchemy Au1250 processor, and running on a claimed 3 to 3.5-Watts of power, the Xtreme PC LX offers onboard multimedia acceleration, domain authentication, and Active-Directory-based management, says the company.
The Xtreme PC LX measures only 3.2 x 6.2 x 1.3 inches (81 x 157 x 33mm), and is based on RMI's 600MHz version of the MIP32-based Au1250, which was announced in January 2007. Released earlier this year in a 700MHz version, the Au1250 sports an on-chip media acceleration engine that provides hardware-based D1 (up to 720 x 480) video processing, RMI claims (see diagram farther below).
