Kaz writes "While not considered one of the two major CPU designers, VIA's Eden and C7 lines of processors have been gaining traction in the world of UMPCs and thin clients. While past architectures have been considerably out of date in terms of modern features, the new Isaiah architecture looks to be very competitive with what AMD and Intel have lined up for future ultra-mobile products. It features an out-of-order, superscalar execution core, 64-bit support, virtualization and even SSE3, all on a 94 million transistor 65nm process die. The initial offering will be single-core only though VIA says that multi-core ability is already designed in. Is Isaiah going to replace your Core 2 system for gaming? No, but it might give Intel's Silverthorne a run for its money."
