IBM’s leading 90nm System-on-Insulator (SOI) manufacturing technology employed at their state-of-the-art fabrication plant at East Fishkill, New York has permitted unprecedented levels of integration, providing the basis for significant performance boosts within industry-leading power and thermal profiles. With a tiny die size of a mere 30mm2, the VIA C7 processor idle power is as low as 100mW (0.1W), while 2.0GHz will run at about 20 watts peak power, an average of 40% cooler than competitor solutions.

Designed for the optimal balance of performance, mobility and security, the VIA C7 processor is perfectly suited for a range of rapid-growth markets demanding those vectors, appliances that leverage the platform's winning low power, low heat, high performance and high security combination.
