Quote: "For an incredibly inexpensive and low power part, the VIA Nano L2100

CPU was very impressive from a performance perspective. Using just 20 watts

or so of power at load the Isaiah architecture running at 1.8 GHz could

handle our media encoding, our PCMark05 general purpose tests and even a

little gaming. The numbers aren't going to impress you enough to make this

your next gaming system of choice but for budget notebooks and PCs I can

easily see VIA's part providing enough power."
