VIA Nano processor family launched
The VIA Nano processor family is based on VIA’s very own Isaiah architecture and offers as much as four times the performance of C7 chips. The Nano processors are the first 64-bit, superscalar, speculative out-of-order processors in VIA’s x86 platform portfolio, specifically designed to “revitalize traditional desktop and notebook PC markets.” According to VIA, the Nano family is ready for the most demanding tasks including Blu-ray Disc HD video playback and the latest PC games, such as Crysis.
The VIA Nano processor family leverages Fujitsu’s advanced 65 nanometer process technology for enhanced power efficiency, and augments that with aggressive power and thermal management features within the compact 21mm x 21mm nanoBGA2 package for an idle power as low as 100mW (0.1W), extending the reach of power efficient green and silent PCs, thin and light notebooks and mini-notes around the world.
