Entertaining Mobility - Enhanced Digital Media Performance and Connectivity

Take in a relaxing movie while you travel, or transfer and share your holiday pictures while still on holiday. Slim and light VIA C7®-M mobile Personal Electronics systems can be used to enjoy, manage, store and share digital media content, at home or on the go.

VIA's highly efficient StepAhead™ Technology Suite integrates sixteen advanced pipeline stages together with advanced branch prediction that predicts and gathers data needed to optimally run applications while saving valuable CPU cycles and reducing power consumption.

Other performance features include support for SSE2 and SSE3 multimedia instructions, a full-speed Floating Point Unit (FPU) and an efficiency-enhanced 128KB full-speed exclusive L2 cache with 32-way associatively for memory optimization and enhanced digital media streaming.

To further boost the multimedia performance, the VIA C7-M is designed to be paired with VIA V-Series chipsets which are specifically designed for flawless digital video playback and streaming with their integrated hardware MPEG-2 decoder and MPEG-4 accelerator. MPEG-4 video can be as much as ten times more compressed than MPEG-2 video that is used by DVDs, opening the door to low bit rate video streaming applications, such as video on demand (VOD), over existing networks and broadband Internet connections. With the VIA V-Series chipsets taking on much of the hard work involved with decoding of highly compressed video files, the VIA C7-M has more available resources, and it also saves battery life while delivering smooth digital video playback.

Also available with VIA C7-M notebooks is the highly acclaimed VIA Vinyl Audio , representing consumer electronics audio quality for a truly immersive entertainment experience. Combining VIA's acclaimed South Bridge technology with high performance audio devices, VIA Vinyl Audio enables users to record and create content, enjoy music and watch the latest movies with crisp clear high quality sound.
