VIA today powered up the VIA Eden X2 dual core CPU that is 64 bit and manufactured with the 40 nm process. VIA touts the new chip as fanless capable and has features such as virtualization and being socket compatible with the previous gen VIA processors such as the Eden and the C7. VIA didn't disclose any performance metrics or benchmarks of the Eden X2. It will be interesting to see how it stacks up against the current crop of Intel ATOM dual core chips. From the looks of it the Eden X2 will be more energy efficient and could be quite competitive price-per-watt and price-wise.
