VIA: 45nm and dual cores in late 2009 Posted on 15/05/2008 at 13:55 by Nicolas
According to Digitimes, which claims to have information from VIA employees, the Taiwanese company intends to produce CPUs engraved in 45nm and dual core processors shouldn’t be launched until the end of 2009. This most likely will be a new version of the Isaiah because Glenn Henry, CEO of Centaur Technology (a subsidiary of VIA whose activity is the conception of CPUs) previously confirmed this was the plan.
So here is something that shouldn’t thrill Nvidia which recently paired up with VIA to compete with Intel on the "Nettop". Note that Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO of Nvidia, recently said that they no longer do not plan on buying its new partner.
You may recall that the first version of the Isaiah, which should be launched at the end of June, is engraved in 65nm. VIA repeated that it will not surpass 2 GHz at least in the beginning.
