CUPP PunkThis hands-on with Video
It is not the primary time we're operate into CUPP Computing's exclusive ability to mix the x86 and ARM platforms into one gadget -- at least in prototype type -- and just before the start of Computex 2011 right here in Taipei we received a chance to experience the company's newest iteration referred to as PunkThis. The product is meant to switch your computer's 2.5-inch SATA difficult drive using a board featuring a full ARM-based system as well as a mini-PCIe socket -- the latter capable of accommodating a physically scaled-down SATA SSD to handle the lacking storage for the x86 host. PunkThis is built about a Texas Instruments DM3730 ARM CPU with 512 MB of RAM and consists of a WiFi radio, as well as connectors and cables to interface the board with present video, audio, and USB facilities on the host pc (no soldering needed).
