Keith - and Andy Grave

The school project could be used to get access to Chinese ressources for making a platform for it in mainland china.
Which could be the basis for a people's notebook for the China domestic market as well to achieve economies of scale. Adding appropriate components I would not be surprised by a product for the world markets undercutting Transmeta-prices by half. An ULV-Barton would be a nice drop-in to come even closer to Centrino. Probably not up to par, though. Therefore it would need K8s. And another platform. This one could be something for the school project - and for the other things as well.

Given we see something from mainland china based on Geode NX which cuts something on the markets, there is a good chance chipset makers will bite and make ULV-K8 platforms. Which is probably what AMD really intends with its recent move.
