VIA launches Nano X2 E-Series low power chips

Brad Linder — Thu, 05 May 2011 14:42:31 +0000

Chip maker VIA has unveiled a new version of its Nano X2 processor called the VIA Nano X2 E-Series. It's a dual core 64-bit chip designed for embedded systems. In other words, you probably won't find the E-Series in a netbook or tablet anytime soon, but it could be used in televisions, set-top-boxes, point-of-sales systems (ie: fancy cash registers), or...

Closer look at the VIA Nano X2 dual core chip

Brad Linder — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 21:00:03 +0000

VIA launched its new dual core Nano X2 chip this week, and I got a chance to do a brief photo shoot with one of the 40nm little guys last night. Sure, it's not much to look at, but that little chip is a 1.4 GHz dual core, 64-bit processor which is pin-to-pin compatible with VIA's single core Nano, C7,...

VIA ARTiGo A1100 nettop reviewed

Brad Linder — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 14:34:35 +0000

While the nettop space is currently dominated by small, low power desktop computers with Intel Atom processors, Atom isn't the only game in town. There are a handful of small form factor desktops with AMD chips, and earlier this year VIA introduced the ARTigo A1100 PC with a low power VIA Nano processor. SlashGear has posted a review of the...

VIA plans to launch a dual core Nano chip

Brad Linder — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 17:57:40 +0000

Intel has the lion's share of the netbook market to itself right now, with its Atom chips powering almost every low cost 10 inch notebook available in the US and Europe. But AMD is taking aim at the space, with its current Nile chips and upcoming Ontario chips. And chip-maker VIA also has a new play up its sleeve. VIA...

VIA introduces ARTiGO A1100 barebones nettop

Brad Linder — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 15:48:38 +0000

Desktop computers tend to be a bit more hacker-friendly than netbooks. Most have cases that are easily taken apart and expansion ports for extra hard drives, disc drives, memory, and PC cards. But nettops tend to be a bit harder to upgrade since the whole point of a nettop is to cram a low power PC into a very tiny...

VIA’s new platform for HD video capable netbooks

Brad Linder — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 14:37:36 +0000

VIA is no stranger to the netbook game. But thanks to Intel's dominance of the netbook chip market, you don't hear much from the company these days. But that hasn't kept VIA from building new energy efficient chips. The latest VIA paltform combines a VIA Nano CPU with a VIA VX900 graphics processor to enable HD video playback on low...

VIA ART-3000: Embedded PC or nettop?

Brad Linder — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 19:01:13 +0000

VIA is marketing its new ART-3000 mini-PC as an embedded solution for industrial and commercial purposes. But you know what? This little guy has enough oomph to function halfway decently as a low power, small form factor desktop. Or as SlashGear points out, you could use it as the basis for a carputer, thanks to the rugged, fanless case design...

VIA introduces new mini-mainboards for Nano processors

Brad Linder — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 15:53:35 +0000

Chip maker VIA has a rather tiny share of the PC CPU market. So perhaps it's appropriate the company is focusing heavily on CPUs for tiny PCs. And that doesn't just mean netbooks. VIA is introducing two new desktop motherboards for small form-factor desktop computers, also called nettops. Both are designed to use VIA's low power Nano processor, which competes...
