CUPP Computing has developed a 2.5” module for x-86 PCs. Codenamed “PunkThis” for PC, it is based on CUPP’s patented technology and “Multi-mode computing” vision. The device enables a user to combine a high performance PC processor (x86/IA) and a low power processor (RISC/ARM) into a single platform. This allows the user to choose between low power/extended battery life and high performance/ normal battery life, enhancing their PCs functionality.
The PunkThis was conceived as a spin-off from CUPP’s internal development platform to a product for tech savvy users. The PunkThis module is designed to engage people and make them understand CUPP’s technology, but at the same time we aim to make the PunkThis module as consumer friendly as we can. This we have done by developing solder-less kits for Specific Notebooks. (Presently we are targeting the Asus 1015pn with a 12” – 13” notebook to follow.)
The PunkThis module contains both and Mini PCIe SSD HD and an ARM processor. The ARM Processor is a TI OMAP DM3730 at 1GHz with 512MB of RAM. Two USB connections (Host & USB OTG) allow uses flexibility to access and share data.
Along with the PunkThis module CUPP will also release a desktop enclosure. This provides users and developers a compact desktop Computer that can be used in a number of roles. As a stand-alone computer it can be used as media center, terminal, or connected device. When used in conjunction with a desktop PunkThis provides an ideal instant on, low power system to check mail and surf the web. Developers gain the ability to target the ARM v7 code base on physical hardware while retaining the functionality of a desktop environment. PunkThis enables more practical computing with greater battery life and a more versatile set of use cases. It allows low power applications and flexibility, with seamless access to PC processing power as needed. This module will provide over 20 hour computing in a standard netbook or 40 hours with a low power screen. (PixelQi)
