Quote: "For an incredibly inexpensive and low power part, the VIA Nano L2100
CPU was very impressive from a performance perspective. Using just 20 watts
or so of power at load the Isaiah architecture running at 1.8 GHz could
handle our media encoding, our PCMark05 general purpose tests and even a
little gaming. The numbers aren't going to impress you enough to make this
your next gaming system of choice but for budget notebooks and PCs I can
easily see VIA's part providing enough power."
