Google demos Coreboot on Chromebook prototype, hints at Ivy Bridge support (video)

Google demos Coreboot on Chromebook prototype, hints at Ivy Bridge support (video)

Well what do we have here. Our friends over at Netbooknews spotted this Samsung Chromebook prototype at IDF Beijing 2012. Better yet, Google was using the machine to demo Coreboot - a fast boot open source BIOS replacement for Linux systems - after recently adding support for Intel's Ivy Bridge platform to the project. Are Coreboot-enabled Ivy Bridge-based Chromebooks on the way. We'll have to wait until Google I/O to find out.
