wbmw,

From the article about the OLPC,

"Mr. Negroponte says he complained to Intel's chief executive two weeks ago, then "made peace." Intel and the One Laptop project, he says, have agreed to work together to design by early January a new "Intel-based" One Laptop device. An Intel spokeswoman confirmed Mr. Negroponte's account, but said any comment would be "premature." AMD, whose chips are used in One Laptop's current machines, declined to comment."

This makes your comments below quite relevant:

FWIW, Intel's Stealey design is a low leakage Dothan part...And following that design, Silverthorne is looking like it will deliver >10x the performance/watt of Geode(AMD), and make a far better low cost or ultra mobile product.

I also got a chuckle from this:

By this spring, many of Mr. Negroponte's informal agreements with world leaders to buy millions of laptops appeared to be unraveling.

The prime minister of Thailand, who backed the project, was removed in a military coup.


Imagine that, Intel infiltrated the Thai military! LOL

IMHO
