Engadget saw a presentation from Phoenix at the Intel Developer Forum. The company has designed a new Instant Boot BIOS, this highly optimized UEFI implementation starts loading your operating system 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.
