how does that processor compare to a core 2 duo?
Click to expand...

Performance wise I don't see it being anywhere near a Core2. The via chips are low power chips as well, and most compete with the Celeron M chips IIRC.

They aren't going to be a powerhouse, but it will do its job, and do so without a huge power draw.
 
So is VIA a large company? I've never heard of them. I always thought AMD and Intel were the only consumer processor companies
 
VIA usually make the processors for systems which are as energy efficient as possible. They're quite big, Everex use them quite often.
 
I made a listing error, from what I believe, it is actually 1.5GHz, not 1GHz. Also, it is 22nm in size.

Via makes many low end chipsets, and some extremely low powered CPUs. It's a pretty good desktop if you have a TV tuner in it.
 
Via really hit their niche with the extremely small boards and low power draw. Nano-ITX and mITX and such are extremely small, and you can fit systems in extremely small rigs/spaces.

They are a good company and make good products. They don't aim to be up there with AMD/Intel. I've been thinking about getting one of their board/cpu's for a sff build, but I will have to pass on a prebuilt. But very cool that he put all that into such a small package.
 
I have been thinking about a TV Tuner, infact, ill add one to sweeten the deal a bit.


edit:
Just added a TV tuner, and put that small case back on after finding out that the TV tuner will fit into the small case.

ew vista is on that thing? Does it even run since Vista is so resource hungry and requires all kinds of multi media instruction sets, be it sse or whatever.
 
$59 shipping, where are you to get that amount? Ill make sure it went through.

The shipping is calculated with the USPS calculator dependent on your zip code.

I put 2 to 3 weeks, just in case there is any problems with the build (if it fails the tests etc) so then there is enough time to get replacements in and built before the customer gets angry and leaving negative feedback, and that usually includes ship time also. However, if the first build is successful, it should be 1 1/2 weeks tops usually.


I will add note for the media center capabilities on it.
