VIA Reveals 1-Watt x86 CPU
VIA has announced a 1-watt x86 CPU, calling it the most energy efficient x86 processor in the world. The chip runs at 500 MHz and can do so without any active cooling. During its idle state it consumes a mere 0.1 watts. The VIA Eden ULV will be mainly targeted towards industrial, commercial and ultra mobile uses and is expected to show up in embedded systems. The tiny CPU measures only 21mm x 21mm.

Dual core on Low power laptops for school and college would be fun.
Most IT related people are on call 24/7 :ohwell:
simply amazing stuff
Needless to say, a computer with a node of 16cores and 32gigs of ram is overkill for these 500mhz cores, but still. I would like to see how it would run.
