Anantech gets a visit from VIA

As Anand Lal Shimpi notes, he hadn't received a visit from a VIA rep in many years, but he was happy and intrigued to get one recently, as VIA launches it Nano DC and VN1000 combo platform.

"Compared to Atom, Nano is a bit of a beast. Both Atom and AMD’s Bobat core can fetch and issue up to two instructions. Nano can do three. Like AMD’s Bobcat, Nano has a full out of order execution engine. Atom, for the time being, is in-order."

Without giving it all away, the review of the platform is actually very positive, with graphics performance, overall performance and power management all getting a good smattering of positives adjectives. Check it out.
