Designed specifically for today’s ultra thin’n'light notebooks and ultra mobile devices, the VIA VX700 integrates all the cutting-edge features of a modern chipset’s North and South bridges, including rich video graphics, HD audio, and DDR2 and SATA II support, into a single, compact and highly power-efficient package measuring just 35mmx35mm.

Complementing the power-efficient VIA C7®-M and C7®-M ULV processors it supports, the VIA VX700 is based on a highly sophisticated power efficient architecture that enables such rich integration into a compact package with a maximum power envelope of just 3.5 watts. A number of key power management technologies are incorporated that monitor activity and dynamically control power according to system load requirements.

The VIA VX700 utilizes the VIA UniChrome™ Pro Integrated Graphics Processor (IGP) ensuring optimal performance for all multimedia, entertainment, and productivity applications. With an internal data flow equivalent to the latest AGP 8X graphics cards, a 200MHz 2D/3D graphics engine and features dedicated 128-bit data paths for pixel data flow and texture/command access.

The VIA UniChrome Pro IGP graphics core also features the Chromotion™ video engine raising the bar for digital entertainment support on PC systems. The Chromotion™ video engine employs a multi-faceted approach to displaying multimedia content, implementing a number of advanced tools at every stage of video processing. These include integrated MPEG-2 decoding, for flawless digital video playback with ultra-low CPU-utilization, and advanced rendering tools such as Adaptive De-Interlacing and Video Deblocking, which ensure clearer playback of digital content on all display devices.

    Just on the side note, Sony did release a VX series maybe 3 years ago. It was not a bad model and I liked the design of it as well (search for PCG-VX88 oe VX89 models).
    Would be interesting to see if Sony goes with Via, with Transmeta being gone, Sony might give it a shot.
