Intel processors in “hundred dollar laptops”

As you know, more recently, Mr. Nicholas Negroponte, the permanent leader and ideological inspirer of the acclaimed project One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) spoke very unpositively in favor of Intel. However, some time passed, and anger miraculously changed to grace: in July it became known that OLPC and Intel were planning to work closely together.

However, then it was mainly about joint development and did not concern “hardware” as such. And now, a month later, rumors began to circulate around the Web that the next revision of the “hundred dollar” XO computers would be equipped with Intel processors. In addition, there is a possibility that Intel will also develop a motherboard for the XO-2.

One way or another, no specific comments regarding the cooperation plans have been given either by Intel or by OLPC. At the same time, it is known that the new servers needed to support XO will be built on Intel Xeon processors. So cheap laptops have a good chance of getting an Intel Inside label.
