VIA C7®
Processor

Desktop Performance, Embedded Design
The VIA C7® processor is the smallest, lowest power, most efficient and most secure native x86 processor in
the world, packing unbeatable performance per watt onto the tiny die of just 30mm2. Built on the advanced
VIA CoolStream™ architecture, the VIA C7® processor is designed to extend the digital lifestyle by combining
robust performance, with ultra low power consumption and highly efficient heat dissipation.
Manufactured using state-of-the-art 90 nm process technology, the VIA C7® processor sets new standards
in integration and performance — all within an industry-leading thermal profile. The VIA C7® is ideal for a
wide range of next generation compact systems, including quiet desktops and mini PCs, green clients, ultra
portable notebooks, personal electronics such as PVRs and home media centers, and high density or very
small server appliances.
The VIA C7® processor also heralds an era of practical pervasive security thanks to the greatly augmented
VIA PadLock™ Hardware Security Suite — the world’s most advanced on-die hardware acceleration security
featuring key cryptographic operations which can be quickly and easily deployed in connected PC devices.
The VIA C7® NanoBGA2 package measures just 21 mm x 21 mm, opening up exciting new possibilities in
system design innovation. VIA C7® processor systems offer smooth playback of MPEG-2 and MP3 audio, Voice
over IP telephony and video conferencing, and much more. It can be combined with a rich selection of VIA
companion chips for a balanced platform for selective system design.
