VIA unveils first Nehemiah core Eden CPU
August 20, 2003

VIA have unveiled the first Eden CPU with Nehemiah core (existing Edens are Ezra-T based). The Nehemiah core offers a number of advantages over the Ezra-T architecture, namely: Full-speed FPU; 64K L2 cache; SSE instruction set support and a hardware based random number generator (useful for encryption). Eden is VIA's version of their C3 CPU, in a very low power package. The first version (already available in volume in some products) - the ESP7000 - consumes typically just 1W, up to around 6W maximum, and runs at 733MHz. We would expect to see an ESP7000 in a passively cooled EPIA M board at some point in the future.
