The latest Via Nano E Series CPUs by the Taiwan-based company Via Technologies are based on the 64-bit OS and claim to have extended longevity support of up to seven years and provide hardware acceleration to better handle HD video codecs and the 3D technology. They come in 5 options from the 800MHz speed capable U3400 to 1.8GHz capable L3050 model.
Press Release
VIA launches world’s first 64-bit power-efficient processors for tomorrow’s embedded markets
Taipei, Taiwan, 22 April 2010 – VIA Technologies, Inc, a leading innovator of power efficient x86 processor platforms, today announced the VIA Nano E-Series processor, bringing native 64-bit software support, virtualization capabilities and extended longevity support to embedded markets.
The move to 64-bit software architecture is an essential transition for the future of the embedded industry. Forthcoming operating systems such as Windows® Embedded Standard 7 will be able to leverage a 64-bit software Eco system that provides up to double the amount of data a CPU can process per clock cycle. This translates in to greater ease in manipulating large data sets and an overall performance boost compared to non-native x64 architectures.
“VIA Nano E-Series processors have been designed to facilitate the shift towards new technologies that will shape the embedded industry for years to come,” said Daniel Wu, Vice President, VIA Embedded Platform Division, VIA Technologies, Inc. “The VIA Nano E-Series will mean that technologies such as 64-bit computing and virtual software deployment will become the norm, not the exception for tomorrow’s embedded system developers.”
The VIA Nano E-Series also supports VIA VT virtualization technology, allowing legacy software and applications to be used in virtual scenarios without impacting on performance. And as with all VIA processors, the VIA PadLock™ Security Engine offers hardware based data encryption standards that meet widely accepted international standards.
Visitors to the VIA Technologies booth at ESC Silicon Valley 2010 will be able to see the VIA Nano E-Series in action. Join VIA at Embedded System Conference 2010, April 27 – 29, San Jose, McEnery Convention Center, Booth No.1238.
