VIA Introduces New VIA Nano 3000 Series Processors

VIA Technologies, Inc, a leading innovator of power efficient x86 processor platforms, today introduced its new VIA Nano 3000 Series processors, bringing enhanced digital media performance and lower power consumption to Windows 7 thin and light notebook and all-in-one desktop PC markets.

Based on the 64-bit superscalar 'Isaiah' architecture, VIA Nano 3000 Series processors deliver the most compelling thin and light notebook computing experience with their rich HD entertainment capabilities, including support for flawless playback of high bit-rate 1080p HD video, as well as low power consumption resulting in longer battery life.

Nice... lets get this in a windows 7 tablet asap.

What they don't tell you is it will still suck

ION 2 nao.

Given it is Via, I will believe it doesn't suck when I actually see performance metrics Proving it.

Did we ever find the last Nano?

So when will we start seeing these used in any devices? In 2013?

But can it do a good 1080i deinterlace/film mode detection?

I'm sick of these "oohhhh we can do 1080p" So.The.Fuck.What. So they put a H.264 decoder on the die. Done. Here's a ribbon.

Give me a video processor on a GPU or CPU that doesn't choke on the malformed 1080i and 480i crap cable and broadcast operators put on the air with theri buggy ass encoders and I'll consider it. So far it hasn't happened.

Wasn't it Via that Steve and Kyle were excited about a couple years ago? I recall reading an article about some low end processors playing crysis (in the lab or something) and things were looking up, but then what happened? Am I imagining things, or does anybody else remember that?

Yields were terrible.
