Here are some highlights from CES that caught my eye:

  • Qualcomm's Dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon 8X72 chipset is due by end of 2010, says Slashgear.

  • There was an appearance of a Dell Mini 5, an Android-powered 5in "entertainment" slate, reports PC Pro.

  • Intel prepping an x86-based system-on-a-chip: "the so-called 'Tolapai' unit will be based on Pentium M architecture, and pack 256KB of L2 cache and support for DDR 2 memory, along with a full compliment of integrated connectivity options, including PCI Express, USB, SATA, Gigabit Ethernet, RS-232 and a cellular link," writes Engadget.

An interesting comment piece on The Register, from Timothy Prickett Morgan, about how the mothballing of "Larrabee" - the x86-based hybrid multi-core CPU and GPU - points to good HPC times for Nvidia: Intel Larrabee letdown leaves HPC to Nvidia's Fermi

He says Intel has never been particularly precise about what "Larrabee" chips were, so it is hard to know exactly what it is we will be missing. Or indeed what we can ever expect from when it finally markets discrete graphics chips that can also be used for number-crunching in servers and workstations...

He continues:
LG XPION X30.jpgThis one caught my eye over the weekend - LG apparently introducing the Ion-based  XPION X30 nettop unit. I like the options for stand-alone or back-mounting on an LCD display.

According to Engadget, it features an Atom N230 cpu, 2GB of RAM, a 250GB HDD, and ships with Windows Vista. It's also LG's first nettop to feature Nvidia's Ion graphics system.
