Via One-ups Transmeta

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the lower-power-equals-happier-laptops dept.

An aonymous reader submitted that"Via just announced the Eden platform, which promises lower power consumption than Transmeta. If it follows the C3 line of CPUs, I'm guessing it will also deliver much better performance at a lower cost (the C3s gave significantly better performance than Transmeta, but at just under 10W, so a bit more power)."

  1. x86 at 10W?? by LazyDawg · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    That's getting pretty close to G4 level! Just another 5 to go!

    How come a processor that's about half the speed uses twice the power, at best? 65 watts for an intel P4 chip is insanity.
