CHIP FIRM Via said it has released the C7-D microprocessor, which has a maximum power of consumption of 20W and a clock speed of 1.8GHz.

The chip fits into the nanoBGA2 package which measures 21mm x 21mm and includes Via's "Stepahead" advanced branch prediction, and support for SSE2 and SSE3.

It claimed it has a carbon free offset by cooperating with Carbon Footprint Limited.

Via has also released a benchmark called Treemark, for people who want to judge and organise the environmental impact of the computers they buy. µ

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
