Yet another win by VIA. Launched just recently, the VIA Nano procesor and VIA VX800 all-in-one digital media IGP chipset received the ‘Best of Computex’ award by the Taiwan Computer Association and the Taiwan External Trade Council (TAITRA). Here’s a snippet of the press release from VIA:

The judging panel honoured VIA’s entry in the LSI/VLSI Category for Mobile Platforms for its ultra low power, miniaturization and optimized performance that will help drive the new breed of ultra portable and small form factor PCs. Also praised was the platform’s high-level integration, as well as its pin-to-pin compatibility with the VIA C7® processor family, giving OEMs and motherboard vendors a smooth upgrade transition for system or board designs.

“We are delighted that our new processor platform has won this award, as it not only underlines our leadership in power efficiency and miniaturization in x86 platform design but is testimony to the industry-wide move towards small yet full-featured x86 devices,” said Epan Wu, Director of CPU Product Marketing, VIA Technologies, Inc. “We expect that the blend of optimized performance, power efficiency and functionality will further expand the market for small form factor and ultra portable devices.”
