New Phoenix Bios Loads 7 in 10 seconds

Windows 7 boot in 10 seconds
New BIOS technology start your PC in under one second and boot Windows 7 before you can manage to count to 10 See here how it works.:

There is a prospect of getting a great deal of speed on Windows 7 with a new BIOS.
How long does it take just to get life in Windows 7? What say you to be able to cold boot your laptop in just 10 seconds? It is possible with a newly designed BIOS from Phoenix.

BIOS was showcased at Intel Developer Forum trade fair that has just underway in San Francisco.

Phoenix calls it "Instant Boot BIOS," and it works by starting all units up at the same time.

It takes less than one second and compared with traditional BIOS, which starts a single unit of time.

This means that most often 10 seconds or longer, before Windows even begins to load.

Phoenix marched BIOS on a Lenovo T400S-portable, and it started up Windows 7 less than 10 seconds.

Now it must be said that the machine also had an SSD disk and booted a completely clean Windows without a lot of installed software.

Although our review has shown that Windows 7 is fast, it's still impressive with the lightning fast start, and hopefully throw the PC manufacturers, the new technology in future laptops.

BIOS will also be a hit when you use the hibernate feature in Windows 7 for here, you start basically even with a cold start before all the saved data is moved from disk to system memory.

Check out this YouTube video where Phoenix BIOS Instant demonstrated:

i wonder if it will be backwards compatible. Thus its just a Bios or am i wrong?

You know, my jaw is right on the ground at the moment...

Of course he has all the advanced graphics turned off as you can see in the movie, which probably helps a little.

I wonder how fast I'd load if I stripped Win7 to the bare shell.

 

[moadip]

i wonder how we now gonna hit del or f2 for the bios to enter

 

[thefabe]

I guess with that bios I will need to put on my glasses before I start my system.

Heh maybe hold it down before turning on machine. I wish desktop BIOSes worked that way, sometimes they are so fast it's hard to hit the small 1-2 second time window as it is

Where did you come across this one? I ran into one article on this earlier at Phoenix's New Laptop BIOS Boots Windows 7 in 10 Seconds - Phoenix 1 Second BIOS Boots Windows in 10 Seconds - Gizmodo

This system from Asrock has been around a while:

ASRock - Instant Boot

 

[Mercurial]

yep... its been done already O.O; [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BucIjXZVxXo"]YouTube - ASRock Instant Boot[/ame]

 

[Night Hawk]

The ASRock Instant Boot is for their desktop boards being a software enhancement/overlay while the Phoenix Quick Boot is the bios programming encoded onto the eprom chip there.

 

[SIW2]

It's not exactly the same thing, but if you have one of the supported Asrock mobo's - you may want to give it a try.

 

[DarkDavil]

Too baad mine isnt covered in the AsRock's list
I betcha their are other programs out their that support other lists of carrds..
Just a matter of finding them

 

[Night Hawk]

What I'm looking at there is the Quick Boot being applied for laptop application where anything that can extend the battery lfe time by reducing demand for power and time as well when first turning in on will be the largest potential gain for portable users.

Eventually for desktops don't be surprized to see the OS desktop appear in only a few seconds as hardwares in general see advancements there as well.

"gosh I just installed 7 on my old 10tb SSD drive the size of a memory card and loads in about 2 seconds!"

At the rate techology is progressing soon you will be able to carry your entire desktop around with you wherever you can plug it in instead of a laptop simply due to the trend for smaller and smaller! Imagine a solar powered desktop not much larger then your present solar powered scientific calculator!

 

[sergiogarcia9]

I have an Asrock Ion 330 with instant boot, but i dont use it Dont know why actually

 

[Element7]

I want that!

 

[Orbital Shark]

Have you guys noticed the 'VISTA' progress bar in the OP video? :roflmao:

Instant boot would shave off some time, but you know once you have antivirus, antispyware, firewall, and other apps all loaded up on windows you are still going to have to wait for all that other crap.
