VIA pc1000 Platform

VIA pc1000The VIA pc1000™ Platform pairs the VIA C3® processor with the VIA CLE266 digital media chipset to provide an energy-efficient, feature-rich solution optimized for emerging market systems.

Fully compatible with Microsoft® Windows® XP/2K/CE and Linux operating systems, the VIA pc1000 Platform is the most cost-effective processor platform on the market, with proven reliability to deliver all the necessary performance for running applications while maintaining low levels of power consumption and effective heat dissipation.

VIA C3 Processor

VIA C3The power saving VIA C3 processor delivers 1GHz equivalent performance and comes packed with a host of advanced features including 128KB Level 1 and 64KB Level 2 cache, 133MHz Front Side Bus, and multimedia extensions for robust performance across the most popular productivity, education, Internet, and entertainment applications.

VIA CLE266 Digital Media Chipset

VIA C3The advanced VIA CLE266 digital media chipset boasts the VIA UniChrome™ IGP (Integrated Graphics Processor) 2D/3D graphics core, a built-in hardware MPEG-2 accelerator for smooth DVD playback, video scaling, motion compensation and an AGP8X interface, as well as VIA Vinyl 6-channel AC’97 Audio for a rich surround sound experience.

Extended Connectivity

Through the VIA VT8235 South Bridge, the VIA pc1000 Platform provides support for up to 2GB of higher bandwidth DDR266 SDRAM memory, dual ATA-133 IDE drives, six USB 2.0 ports, 6 PCI slots for system expansion and 10/100 Fast Ethernet for broadband networking. Display flexibility includes DuoView™ supporting dual CRT, LCD or TV displays for enhanced productivity, two video capture ports, and picture-in-picture functionality for multi-channel capability.

Designed for Power Efficiency

Low power draw is critical in many emerging market implementations, especially in rural areas, so it is vital that computing technologies consume minimal power. With a maximum power draw of just 18 watts and idle power as low as 1.2 watts, the VIA C3 processor meets this challenge with its extremely efficient design: the chart shows that the VIA C3 processor is designed to consume nearly 80% less power than competing processors targeted at the same market segment.
