VIA's Isaiah processor architecture has been getting a lot of attention for
being a strong competitor to Intel's Atom line of processors for the ULV CPU
segment. Today VIA is officially unveiling the new Nano Processor line for
mainstream desktops, notebooks and mini-notes (to name a few) and the
specifications look impressive.

Quote: "If all goes as planned, the adoption rate for VIA's new processor
should be swift as the CPU is pin-to-pin compatible with any motherboard
platform built for the VIA C7 processor and uses the same bus technology and
chipsets. This is something that Intel's Atom line of processors based
around Silverthorne definitely cannot offer. Not only that but the VIA Nano
Processor and accompanying platform can support many features that Atom
leaves behind like full speed PCI Express buses."
