The BTest-3 release will ship on 3500 machines 6-8 weeks after BTest-2 completes; these will contain ASICs for both CAFE and the DCON.

This build, scheduled for May, is the first to use an updated design for the laptop. Noticeable improvements over BTest-2 include:

  • A faster, lower power processor: the Geode LX-700

o 128 KB of L1 Cache, 128 KB of L2 Cache (vs. 32 KB of L1 cache) o Faster processor and memory clock (433/333 vs. 366/266) o 1.5 W typ. vs. 3 W typ. o Much better graphics processor, including support for rotated blits and depth conversion

  • More memory: 256 MB of SDRAM (vs. 128 MB)
  • A new hinge design allows greater tilt of the screen
  • An improved case design (addressing strength and water resistance)

A very small number of BTest-3 units (around a hundred) will be built, all destined for hardware and low level software development.

Note: See TracRoadmap for help on using the roadmap.
