Centaur have been very busy the last few years. While many did not expect a next-gen processor out of the small Austin, Texas based company that is exactly what it delivered. And it looks like it will fit very well into a market segment that Intel's Atom is underpowered for, and Core 2 is overpowered. But only time will tell with design wins. And while some folks reported that UMPCs like the HP 2133 would show up with Intel's Atom inside, that certainly has not happened. And while a C7 is in the current retail 2133 I would very much expect to see a VIA Nano inside soon, and probably a dual core VIA Nano by year end.
Read More over at HardOCPIf there is a Nano by the end of the year then it should be interesting times in the Mini-ITX segment. I for one am becoming more interested in this segment as my Mac Mini based on the old G4 processor begins to show its age even more.
