Nano E-Series processor offers performance boost

VIA Technologies

Nano E-Series processor

VIA Technologies has launched the VIA Nano E-Series processor, which brings native 64-bit software support, virtualisation capabilities and extended longevity support to embedded markets.

The company said the move to 64-bit software architecture is an essential transition for the future of the embedded industry.

Forthcoming operating systems such as Windows Embedded Standard 7 will be able to leverage a 64-bit software eco system that provides up to double the amount of data a CPU can process per clock cycle.

VIA said this translates into greater ease in manipulating large data sets and an overall performance boost compared with non-native x64 architectures.

The VIA Nano E-Series also supports VIA VT virtualisation technology, allowing legacy software and applications to be used in virtual scenarios without impacting on performance.

As with all VIA processors, the VIA Padlock Security Engine offers hardware-based data encryption standards that meet widely accepted international standards.
