Along with the new NetCARD II, Cell Computing has just announced the new 700MHz Plug'N'Run and 700MHz RazorBlade (thinner, lighter version of the PnR which AFAIK only works off the shelf in its own proprietary and *large* dev board, meaning it won't plug into the NetCARDs that the PnR can plug into): http://www.cellcomputing.com/ Power consumption is TBD on these so far, but I'm not expecting good news because (as is the trend with embedded manufacturers to not use the latest, lowest power CPUs) they don't appear to be using the new ultra-low-voltage .13 micron process Pentium III-m. The reason I surmise this is they list the backside cache as only 256K whereas I happen to know that the PIII-m comes with 512K. I hope I'm wrong about this, but embedded manufacturers never seem to fail to disappoint at every opportunity that presents itself. On a related note, Cell will show off this new hardware at the Embedded Systems Conference in Boston in just a few days.
