weEvil Posted April 3, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted April 4, 2008 Share 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...

weEvil Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 I see. What if it records uncompressed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmX.Memnoch Posted April 4, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
