VIA Technologies Inc, developer of silicon chip technologies and PC platform solutions, unveiled the new VIA Eden-N processor at the 16th annual Microprocessor Forum conference in San Jose. Based on a new streamlined Nehemiah core architecture, the processor delivers enhanced digital media performance features and advanced embedded hardware security technologies in a tiny nanoBGA package, which measures just 15 mm x 15 mm to provide the world’s smallest, lowest power and most secure native x86
processor.
With its enhanced thermal characteristics, the processor achieves a thermal design power of only 6 watts at 800MHz and 7 watts at 1GHz. Its ultra low power consumption is of paramount importance for small and quiet connected devices because they can now run without any cooling fans, significantly enhancing reliability during 24/7 operation.

The device’s small size reduces motherboard real estate requirements, facilitating the development of smaller, more integrated footprints such as the forthcoming 12cm x 12cm VIA Nano-ITX mainboard form factor.
To address the growing need among corporate, government, and home users to protect sensitive data, the VIA Eden-N processor adds advanced new security features to the existing PadLock Security Suite on the Nehemiah core, including the new PadLock advanced cryptography engine (ACE) and two hardware based RNGs.
