 A week ago VIA launched its new VIA Nano processor, which is based on the VIA Isaiah Architecture I wrote about back in January.
At a press conference last Thursday during Computex 2008, VIA released some more information on the processor, including some performance per watt figures based on PCMark® Vantage benchmarks. In the chart below you can see the results – in red are the VIA Nano’s performance per watt figures, and in blue the results for an Intel Celeron-M 520 (both CPUs are 1.6GHz models, with 1GB of DDR2 memory).
As you can see from the chart, the VIA Nano looks to have a distinct advantage over the Intel processor in terms of performance per watt in each of the key areas tested. Expect to see the new processor in small form factor desktop PCs, thin ‘n’ light laptops, and mini-note devices like the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC in the coming months.

When will the Nano be available to end users, rather than just OEMs?
