Aptly described as "a bit of a unicorn" the VIA Nano in dual core form was never the less on display in a desktop system at Computex last week. Engadget had this to say:
"The device utilized a VN1000 Digital Media Chipset and fully supported dual-channel DDR3 memory. A Chrome 520 GPU was helping to push out a 720p movie trailer on the demo system, and the innate compatibility with HDMI and DisplayPort should keep home cinema owners happy. The 65nm chip was clocked at 1.6GHz, and we were told that it wouldn't be venturing into mobile machines in its current form."
A dual core Nano could form the basis of a low cost desktop PC that would suit most people's computing needs ... and it would also give a boost to the computing power afforded to embedded devices, if it makes its way to EPIA boards.
