weEvil Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 (edited) I'm looking at the Intel Atom. Do you guys think it has enough power to record & compress:VIDEO: 4 streams of 640x480 + 1 stream of 320x240 and AUDIO: 2 mono streams of 22khz. At the same time?Its for a DIY passive car security system running 24/7. Edited April 3, 2008 by brucevangeorge
puntoMX Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 VIDEO: 4 streams of 640x480 + 1 stream of 320x240 and AUDIO: 2 mono streams of 22khz. At the same time?Forget it, each stream needs a 350MHz CPU at least... so let’s say you will need some 1.5GHz to do the 4 streams, not to forget the I/O power that is needed...
nmX.Memnoch Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 (edited) Remember, the Atom is an in-order processor. It wasn't designed to be "the fastest", it's designed to be "fast enough" for the devices it's aimed at...which is ultra-mobile devices and low-end desktops used for internet/email only. Intel actually sacrificed some performance to make it a very low power CPU (electrically).Parts of it are a bit technical, but Anandtech has a pretty good article on the Atom:http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/intel...doc.aspx?i=3276 Edited April 4, 2008 by nmX.Memnoch
