Intel Edison running Doom - General

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJYpGUOGtDw[/media] [url=http://www.davidhunt.ie/raspberry-pi-beaglebone-black-intel-edison-benchmarked/]Faster than a raspberry pi or beaglebone black[/url], and much smaller to boot (the entire computer is the little SD card board, the beefy breakout board is just for prototyping). Can't wait to get my hands on one of these for some projects I want to do

you'll literally be able to run this on your toaster before long

[QUOTE=artDecor;46911938]you'll literally be able to run this on your toaster before long[/QUOTE] Well, you can already run it on a fucking wristwatch :v: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ei2-jBGGYk[/url]

Pretty awesome, but considering how powerful smartphone SoC are already it's not [b]that[/b] impressive. [img]http://puu.sh/equFx/eaa8958740.jpg[/img] That tiny thing (Nvidia Tegra X1: 1TFLOP/s) has half the power of this: (Radeon HD 5870: 2TFLOP/s) [img]http://puu.sh/eqv29/12b7fd09ff.jpg[/img] IIRC it doesn't include RAM, but that's why it's even smaller than Edison.

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;46911964]Now let's do the original Half Life.[/QUOTE] Probably doable, it's way above spec and while it probably can't run windows xp half life 1 appears to be on linux now

[QUOTE=Robber;46911988]IIRC it doesn't include RAM, but that's why it's even smaller than Edison[/QUOTE] The SD card sized edison chip also has a wifi card, bluetooth card, and internal storage in addition to having RAM. The hardware is too different to do size comparisons, but given all those extra chips I'd say the edison is more impressively compressed.

(in double precicion calculations, which is the most common for comparisons)

Now mod it into one of these: [t]http://www.wikihow.com/images/2/23/Look-After-a-Tamagotchi-Connection-Step-7.jpg[/t]

DOOM one of the best fps every made.

For the size/power/performance ratio, I'd see this great as not just wearables but as implantables too. Cyberbrain prosthesis here I come.
