VIA's New Nehemiah M10000 Processor Reviewed

Posted by timothy on from the low-power-madness dept.

Joseph Wharton writes "Mini-ITX.com has a review of VIA's new Nehemiah M10000 EPIA-M motherboard and processor. Some of the new features include a full-speed floating-point unit (finally!), SSE instructions, 64KB of full-speed L2 cache, and (get this) a hardware-based random number generator. Also, there's IO/APIC support in these new procs, potentially paving the way for dual EPIA boards."

    How about the M 1.0x10^4 ??

    The the nextgen can be M 1.0x10^5, and so on... This way in 5 years we only have to remember the exponent and not the number 100000000000!
