Phoenix's Optimized BIOS starts PCs in less than 10 seconds

jmke · 25th September 2009, 13:51

Phoenix is showing off a few interesting things at IDF, but the real standout is their new Instant Boot BIOS, a highly optimized UEFI implementation that can start loading an OS in just under a second. Combined with Windows 7's optimized startup procedure, that means you're looking at incredibly short boot times -- we saw a retrofitted Dell Adamo hit the Windows desktop in 20 seconds, while a Lenovo T400s with a fast SSD got there in under 10.

~32 seconds to 7's desktop if restarting, just a 7200.10 Seagate hard drive.

Phoenix Optimized BIOS + Ubuntu 9.10 + SSD should be killer.

My 7 needs ~1m30 before it's usefull on a Dell Insprion 6400.
10sec before bootloader shows
36sec for the login-screen to show
Another 25sec before the desktop shows up
and 20 seconds for Opera to launch (clicked on it while it was starting up).
