VIA Nano 3000 Series – Intel Atom Potential Rival

Intel has 1GHz and 2GHz ATOM processors, so does VIA! And at last, there’s another competitor for Intel besides AMD.

Here are some benchmarks comparing VIA Nano, VIA Nano 3000 and Intel Atom.

The new VIA is launching their new Nano 3000 Series processors. The new CPU is based on 6 different versions ranging from 1GHz to 2GHz processor. Those CPUs will have 1080p video playback capability with 65Bit Support, SSE4 instruction and 800MHz FBS features. These processors are built compliance for both Windows 7 and Linux OS.

Another great feature is the energy saving, claims to be 20% more efficient than previous VIA‘s Nano Series. Let’s wait the impact of these new Nano 3000 series to OEMs mobo industry starting this first quarter of 2010.

These core improvements make the VIA Nano 3000 series processors an even more compelling option for a range of devices including thin and light notebooks, bringing a rich HD entertainment experience, including support for smooth playback of high bit-rate HD video, as well as low power consumption resulting in longer battery life.  New VIA Nano 3000 Series processors also bring enhanced digital media performance and lower power consumption to Windows 7-based devices including all-in-one desktop PC.

Building on the key features that made the VIA Nano processor a success, VIA Nano 3000 series processors now support a host of advanced features including 64-bit support, advanced CPU virtualization technology, SSE4 for enhanced multimedia processing, and the industry-leading encryption and security capabilities integrated in the VIA PadLock™ Security Engine.

VIA Nano 3000 series processors are fully compatible with all Microsoft operating systems, including the new Windows 7, as well as all popular Linux distributions. VIA Nano 3000 Series processors also use the NanoBGA2 package, making them pin-to-pin compatible with VIA Nano 1000 Series, VIA Nano 2000 Series, VIA C7, VIA C7-M and VIA Eden processors for easy upgrades of existing designs.
