VIA Eden

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

VIA Technologies designated VIA Eden a series of PC processors, which are passively cooled and build on an x86 architecture. A distinction is made between VIA Eden ESP, VIA Eden-N, VIA Eden ULV and VIA Eden. The differences are in the package (EBGA, NanoBGA or NanoBGA2) and in the processor core used. The first VIA Eden ESP CPUs are based on the VIA C3 processor with Samuel 2 or Nehemiah core, the VIA Eden N are also based on the VIA C3 with “ Nehemiah + ” core, while the VIA Eden ULV and VIA Eden are based on the VIA C7 with Esther core. That is why the models also differ in the instruction extensions available (e.g. 3DNow! Or SSE2 ), their performance and power consumption. In general, the voltages on the Eden CPUs are lower than on their C3 or C7 counterparts.
