VIA have announced the availability in volume of their fanless Eden CPUs at new faster speeds of 800Mhz and 1Ghz. The Nehemiah based Eden ESP8000 and ESP10000 CPUs consume as little as 7W and include VIA's second generation Padlock security, which includes high-speed hardware based AES encryption and two Random Number Generators. The 733Mhz ESP7000 CPU has been available to manufacturers for a while, as utilised in early versions of Nimble's V5 communications device for instance. New EPIA Mini-ITX boards that take advantage of these chips haven't been announced - though we would be surprised if we didn't see something at CeBIT at the end of next month, with boards appearing on the market some time after that.
