VIA Announces World?s First Carbon Free Processor
VIA Technologies, Inc today announced the VIA C7-D processor for a new breed of PC desktop solutions. The VIA C7-D processor with a maximum power consumption of just 20W at 1.8GHz not only sets the benchmark for performance-per-watt operation, but enables further power savings through the use of smaller power supplies and cooling fans, with a side benefit of a quieter computing experience. The carbon dioxide produced from the operation of the processor over the lifetime of the PC is then offset through regional projects in energy conservation, reforestation, and alternative energy.
?Around the world we are seeing a growing interest from companies and individuals looking to ‘do their bit’ in reducing their carbon footprint as a way to ensure future generations will inherit a world we can be proud of,? commented John Buckley, Managing Director, Carbon Footprint Ltd. ?Products such as the VIA C7-D processor are certainly a step in the right direction for organizations looking to neutralize the carbon dioxide emissions of their operations, and we are proud to be working with VIA in their carbon offsetting projects?. Available at speeds of 1.5GHz and 1.8GHz, the VIA C7-D processor offers a host of performance features such as StepAhead? Advanced Branch Prediction, sixteen pipeline stages, support for SSE2 and the advanced SSE3 multimedia 3D instruction sets, a full-speed Floating Point Unit (FPU) and an efficiency-enhanced 128KB full-speed exclusive L2 cache with 32-way associativity for memory optimization.
