I’ll admit it, I was wrong.
While there is no denying the obsolete ‘suckage’ that was C-7M, VIA’s latest little number is quite good.
The boys at Centaur continue to stir things up. Why VIA doesn’t drop some real coin into that operation I will never know. Glenn Henry and his team could really do some damage if they had real money to work with. Maybe then we would get a steady – dare we hope for yearly – release of silicon as good as Nano (formerly Isaiah).
Isaiah was a pretty famous Old Testament prophet. Perhaps VIA is signalling that there namesake processor is a sign of things to come. I hope so.
This video is bunk by the way. Any computer can play a basic 20 second 1080p clip. Let’s see that little netbook do it for 2 hours. If people with Core 2 Duo notebooks and GMA950 or X3100 can not get smooth playback of 1080p content, than I doubt a netbook user will. But hey, its fun fodder for the marketing wars that VIA has been absent from for too long.
