Via Details Next-Gen Processors

edited May 2004 in Science & Tech
Via Technologies has provided a glimpse of features that will be offered with the company's upcoming next-generation processor core, called Esther.
The first Esther-based processors from Via are expected to be available during the second half of the year. Optimized for security and e-commerce applications, the chips will be manufactured at IBM's 300-millimeter wafer fabrication plant in East Fishkill, New York, using a 90-nanometer process.
Check out the low power consumption of these chips. -KingFish

    And, like the C3, the reason it only needs a few watts of power is because it has the computing power of an ICE CUBE.

    Cool in the sense that they ran cool, yes. They're still pieces of sh*t.
