VIA has just introduced its new Nano processor dual core low power Nano X2 E, which is destined for the embedded market. This 64-bit x86 processor will be available in versions ranging from 1.2 GHz to 1.6 GHz. It will be engraved in 40nm, has an architecture out-of-order and a module for the virtualization of operating systems and other accelerated AES encryption of data.
The die measures 11 mm x 6 mm and the package measures 21 mm x 21 mm and requires a Socket NanoBGA2. Copies of tests have already been delivered and VIA are talking about marketing for the quarter. In short, this new Nano-E X2 is identical to its big brother, the X2 Nano, released in January (see "VIA Nano formalizes its X2 dual-core).
