New Delhi November 10, 2006 - VIA Technologies, Inc, a leading innovator and developer of silicon chip technologies and PC platform solutions, today announced that Hitachi has selected the power efficient VIA processors to power their new FLORA Se series desktop and mobile connected clients.
Little bigger than a B5 sheet of paper, the FLORA Se330 BU1 desktop client featuring the VIA C7(r) processor is 70% smaller than the previous generation and uses 70% less power, enabling real dollar savings on its operation. Its fanless design affords a quieter user experience, while the VIA CN700 digital media IGP chipset delivers extended connectivity required for smooth connected client computing.
The ultra light FLORA Se210 RK1 mobile client based on the VIA Eden(r) processor exploits the new wave of mobile secure computing, combining the familiar form factor of a notebook with the solid data protection of connected client computing, releasing the mobile executive from the fear of critical information loss through device theft. Weighing just 1kg, the FLORA Se210 RK1 provides up to 5 hours of operation with the standard battery, and nearly 8 hours with the long-life battery – comfortably achieving all-day business operation.
"By taking full advantage of VIA's advanced processor power efficiency, we were able to achieve ground-breaking light weight and extended battery life for a notebook form factor," said Koichi Nakai, General Manager of Client Operation, Enterprise Server Division, Hitachi Ltd. "At the same time, the excellent thermal and physical profile enabled us to shrink down the desktop client by 70% and offer ultra quiet operation in both systems, significant ergonomic benefits for enterprise users."
"We believe that with these new FLORA clients, Hitachi has truly extended the concept of security in connected client computing solutions, and especially into the exciting young market of notebook form factor mobile clients," said Epan Wu, Deputy Director of CPU Product Marketing, VIA Technologies, Inc. "By leveraging the leading performance per watt of our next generation processors, Hitachi is also able to offer real dollar savings in running costs, providing significant benefits to an enterprise's bottom line."
The FLORA Se210 RK1 mobile client leverages the ultra power efficiency of the 500MHz VIA Eden(r) processor. The ultra power efficiency allows for weight and size savings in system design, especially important for portable devices, with the mobile client weighing in at just 1kg and 270×222mm and between 30.5-36mm high.
