Comments on: Via and Pentium powered Samsung Q1′s? http://gigaom.com/mobile/via_and_pentium/ Fri, 25 May 2012 16:20:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: comsurgeb http://gigaom.com/mobile/via_and_pentium/#comment-47436 Sat, 28 Oct 2006 21:49:22 +0000 http://jkontherun.wordpress.com/2006/09/06/via_and_pentium#comment-47436 Sorry to sound like such a noob but I haven’t seen any head to head comparisons on any of the blogs yet: what are the advantages/disadvantages of the Via vs. the Celeron vs. the PM chips. I’m guessing the speed won’t be too noticeable but how about Vista?

I would like to know if HD video files like 720p are able to be read on the Samsung Q1 Via like for the Samsung Q1 Intel. Not sure !
And i hope SS2 is implemented in the Via processeur. Some software like Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0 can’t run without SSE2….

Is that typical of Fry’s to have product in a store that’s not available online? For moststores it seems like the other way around.

Thanks for checking! I’ll be semi-surprised to hear of a Pentium powered model because there’s been zero news on that front, but it would be a pleasant surprise! With all of the Intel price cuts lately, it can’t be ruled out. Steve, thanks for the C64 bit too!

The original Q1 is NP-Q1-V000, the pentium based Q1 will be NP-Q1-V002 and the Via is NP-Q1B-V000. That will have to be confirmed though.

On a different tack, I think Kevin will get a kick out of this article I saw mentioned in my Livejournal Friends list: http://www.dunkels.com/adam/tfe/
It’s an Ethernet cartridge for the Commodore C64, and includes a downloadable TCP/IP stack. I have no idea how well it works, but it’s certainly interesting…
