Re: [Astlinux-users] Interesting hardware

[Bryce C. <br...@rh...>]

I had a chance to play around with the Geode GX (and both other models, 
one of which is still sitting on my window sill), and while I commend 
AMD on putting together one heck of a demo box, the CPU itself just 
couldn't handle very much transcoding or echo cancellation. Simply 
terminating Zap calls into Echo() with zapata.conf's echocancel=yes 
would grind the system to a halt starting at exactly call number 8. It 
may be a good little desktop system, but it's strengths are definitely 
not in realtime processing. Admittedly, when AMD marketed the Geode to 
embedded applications, they emphasized the flexibility of a PC 
architecture, not the power - it's meant to be a low power, fan-less 
processor.
Just my $.02.
