VIA Eden is a name of a variant of VIA's C3/C7 x86 processors, designed to be used in embedded devices. They have smaller package sizes, lower power consumption, and somewhat lower computing performance than their C equivalents, due to reduced clock rates. They are often used in EPIA mini-ITX, nano-ITX, and Pico-ITX motherboards. In addition to x86 instruction decoding, the processors have a second undocumented Alternate Instruction Set.
The Eden is available in four main versions:
Name | Core | Clock speed | Package | FSB |
---|---|---|---|---|
Eden ESP | Samuel 2 and Nehemiah cores | 300 MHz–1.0 GHz | EBGA 35mm×35mm | 66/100/133 MHz |
Eden-N | Nehemiah core | 533 MHz–1.0 GHz | NanoBGA 15mm×15mm | 133 MHz |
Eden | Esther core | 400 MHz–1.2 GHz | NanoBGA2 21mm×21mm | 400 MT/s FSB |
Eden ULV | Esther core | 500 MHz–1.5 GHz | NanoBGA2 21mm×21mm | 400 MT/s FSB |
The Eden ULV 500 MHz was the first variant to achieve a TDP of 1W .[1]
