No, I personally haven't seen the board for this yet, but that's exciting to know it can run off passive cooling. On the other hand, depending on how this is mounted, AMD might expect the rack or casing to supply the fans. The CPU probably runs efficient enough to not rely on direct cooling but I doubt it could run at 100% 24/7 without some form of controlled air.

Need to start searching the net for more robust details, I just wonder what else is in the chip. Beyond serving as a work station this would be a nice chip to build a media / home server around. Somebody like Apple could make a high performance version of Apple TV which could pass as a gaming system or frankly multipurpose hardware.

On Linux, supporting a new CPU platform is mostly only a recompile away, due to most source being available.
Other distributions too have supported various flavors of ARM (OpenSuse has been shown running on ARM netbooks, Debian has an ARM spin too, etc.)
The only thing that won't run as-is on it are binary-only software, which nowadays is mostly Flash. And nobody in their right ming needs flash on a file server.

These should make for some interesting little machines. I wonder if the OpenPandora guys will update to fit one of these tiny monsters in it...
On your other point, I've always wondered why Apple never merged the AppleTV with the MacMini, that would have made it a much more capable HTPC system then what it was/is.Last edited by Kivada; 31 January 2014, 11:13 PM.
