Today heralds a new dawn in energy-efficient computing with the announcement of VIA's new Isaiah architecture. This new CPU architecture promises to deliver a massive increase in raw computing power while maintaining a similar power envelope to previous VIA platforms, i.e. significantly more energy-efficient than any other CPU in its class available today.
 

With Isaiah-based CPUs planed to ship some time in the middle of this year, the VIA Isaiah Architecture has been specifically designed to deliver all the performance and features necessary for running the most demanding computing, entertainment, and connectivity applications, including high-definition video, 3D games, imaging, and virtual worlds.

What impresses me most of course is the implications of this technology. Simply put, it means that power-efficient computing will come of age in 2008. Consumers will soon be able to purchase devices that offer the kind of performance they crave while using significantly less energy than was previously required.

This video features Glenn Henry, the President of Centaur Technology Inc, the company that designed tha VIA Isaiah architecture. It's clear from the video that Glen is immensly proud of what his team have achieved, deeming it 'sort of impossible'.
