HP Seeks Big Growth With Thin Clients
Thursday, 16 March 2006 by Michel Roth
Hewlett-Packard launched its next generation thin-client computers Wednesday, rolling out the t5720, which uses Advanced Micro Devices chips. HP previously used processors from Transmeta, which no longer makes chips.

The t5720 thin client will be 10 percent faster than its predecessor, the t5710, and still use less wattage, said Keith Martin, product manager for HP thin clients. It achieves that by using the AMD Geode NX 1500 processor, a 1GHz chip based on the mobile Athlon. The t5720 also has more memory, with up to 512MB of flash memory and 512MB of DDR (double data rate) RAM. It runs the Windows XP Embedded operating system. It is priced at US$699 with 256MB DDR memory. Way to expensive in my book.

The t5720 will be the high-performance model in HP’s line of thin-client computers, alongside the price-sensitive t5125 for Linux systems, and the business-class t5520 for Windows CE 5.0 and t5525 for Linux.
