We all knew that it was coming, and the thing is I think we still have to count it as "coming soon". VIA has chosen the week of the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas as the timing to announce the VIA Nano X2 processor, but the Press Release only gives the basic details; no information on actual model numbers and features has been released, and that leads me to believe that using the word "available" would be a little preemptive.
Based on the Isaiah architecture in current Nano processors, the Nano X2 models will use a 40 nanometer fabrication process and the Press Release says that this will mean that they can use multiple cores without increasing the power draw.
VIA usually hand out some samples to the testing geeky media crowd. It'll be nice to see them come up trumps against Intel's Atom again. Read the full Press Release here.
