Though we know virtually nothing about any Chrome OS (http://www.engadget.com/tag/ChromeOs/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget)-based devices (http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/15/visualized-google-io-chromebook-circle/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) in development at Google, we at least know what their engineers are calling them. Google insider François Beaufort (http://www.engadget.com/tag/francoisbeaufort/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) revealed that developers working on such projects might be Star Fox (http://www.engadget.com/tag/starfox/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) fans, as several possible x86 devices seem to bear the Fox, Falco, Peppy and Slippy monikers, according to a recent changelog. None of this is proof of any future products, of course, but Fox and Slippy seem to be Haswell (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/25/intel-haswell-north-cape-hands-on-battery-life/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget)-equipped, according to Beaufort -- which would be a nice step up from their 1993-era Nintendo graphics power.
