This is what, or rather watt... Smile :-

Only 7.5W @ 1.5Ghz (And only a mere 0.5W Idle) Wink

Make's the Yonah seem like a Chevy pickup in comparison, pity the performance will probably be poo, though should be absolutely perfect for a media centre... Cool

If a new Epia comes out with one of these CPU's i'll have one to replace my old Epia-M1000 board (which is getting a tad long in the tooth now... Wink )

Now if only a mobo would come out that would support like 6 of these, I'd be set. Very Happy

hehe, no more "a whole, half of ten minutes battery life" on my lappy.
wait, I don't have a lappy...

It would be nice to see that though, I don't beleive it's something I should frag on(honestly, I don't know what these can do), but I'm sure I could count on one to handle schoolwork and business stuff.

I used to only buy mobos with VIA chipsets, that is, until I got "nLightened", damn near forgot about these folks, I'll keep an eye on this one.

Well I have a VIA C3 Nehemiah 1Ghz CPU intergrated on my Epia-M1000 MiniITX board (My current media centre), and the performance is roughly about the same as a 600Mhz P3, and still uses only 11W IIRC. It's never a games machine, but it still gets a few points in 3DMark01:-

Which is enough for games like Baldurs Gate 2 and NWN, and most other RTS's.

I imagine the new VIA 1.5Ghz Eden CPU's should have a fair bit more "oomph", but they are a very simple "In-Order" design, which is why they draw tiny amounts of power also.
