Another article which extracts heavily from the VIA press release |
|
and includes a quote from Theo de Raadt about OpenBSD support for the |
|
processor. Additionally, it shows a photo of the processor next to a US |
|
one cent coin and an Intel Pentium M processor, illustrating its small |
|
form factor. |

Unveils New NanoBGA VIA Eden-N Processor, World's Smallest & Lowest |

Press Release, October 14, 2003. |
|
</strong></font><br/> |
|
VIA announces a new small, low power native x86 processor with an |
|
integrated multi-mode AES implementation. Theo de Raadt is quoted as |
|
saying, "There's just no way to describe how happy we were to find such an |
|
inexpensive, blazingly fast, and correctly operating device as the VIA |
|
Eden-N processor's Padlock ACE ..." OpenBSD 3.4 has support for this |
|
processor and its integrated cryptographic engine. |
