Now the benchmarks we received appear to get the upper hand on both Intel and AMD processors alike, but since there are some very serious points of contention, we shall approach that in a minute. Now the x86 architecture codenamed Isaiah II is basically being developed by Centaur Technology and will be revealed in approximately two months. You can find the exact countdown over here. Now the x86 processors made from this architecture will be targetted to the same market sector that is currently housing AMDs Kabini and Intels Bay Trail processors. So we are looking at a low end product primarily for embedded uses and maybe some very low-end Dekstops.

This is the same old story we've heard for
Via C3
Via C7
and Via Nano / Nano X2.
As soon as third party reviews come out the benchmarks aren't competitive.
VIA still uses the FSB. And their revenue keeps shrinking. I doubt this CPU is much different than the current ones.
what is your source on revenue shrinkage?
they seem to be growing or am I reading it wrong[legit question]...

What is the power consumption? What is the chipset's power consumption? What is the GPU performance?
wccftech basically just ripped off 3dcenter.org article, took abit from it and stole the picture and posted it in such a tiny format you cannot even read it properly.
They dont even mention their source is the 3dcenter.org article.

Has a article about the Isaiah II as well, from the 4/7/2014 (2days ago).
Test scores for a prototype of the Isaiah II, being tested:
http://www.sisoftware.eu/rank2011d/...85a3cbf6c3e59da091b7d2b78aba9cefd2e2&l=en
Its about as fast CPU wise as the AMD Athlon 5350 (guy on forum tested his own pc) and compaired his numbers to the ones he found on the Sisoftware site, from the test of the Isaiah II.
(cannot really be sure about his numbers)
^ My thoughts too. I wanna see how much power it uses though and what type of igpu performance it can put out.
No mention of any of that.
good find, as for power...if this is on that tsmc 28nm that was rumored a while back and if they go single-die soc[as opposed to 2 cpu dice and a chipset] then I am inclined to believe that they can be competitive, Via cpu design are surprisingly competent, historically that is.
I doubt it.
The Temash -> Mullins step was huge.
Same with Beema vs. Kabini.
"The power reduction is pretty impressive when you put it in terms of TDPs. The highest-end Mullins part has a TDP of 4.5W, which is significantly less than the 8W TDP of Temash, but manages twice the graphics and productivity performance. "
"AMD also claims the performance of 4.5W Mullins parts this year is at the level of (lower-tier) 25W Kabini parts last year,.."
I doubt via can introduce anything at (2.8 SPD)4.5w-15w that can compete with AMDs offerings, much less Intels.
AMDs new Beema "A6-6310" is supposed to be around 30%+ faster
than the "Athlon 5350" alone due to the frequency increase, and thats at 15watts.
They arnt "just" numbers amd pulled out is on arse.trust me I have read all the articles and I doubt AMD can manage those numbers
[atleast in most scenarios]

Their are plenty of reviewers that where allowed a few hours with a prototype to test them.
Hell here on Anandtech you can find one of a "A10 Micro-6700T" 4.5w (2.8w SPD) apu tested.

And listing performance in unspecified benchmarks at unspecified TDPs with unspecified configurations is a joke.
And for VIAs sales:

The revenue Year Over Year is INCREASING not shrinking. You should re-check again the link. If they will continue like they have done in the first two quorters then 2014 will be the best year of the last 2-3 years.
And Intel too then, looking at the way they prioritize mobile these days.As said, VIA is into embedded. Something AMD is on its way into as well.

The next-gen architecture that is coming out from VIA is a hybrid ARM/x86 core. At boot-up you can choose ARM or x86 as the ISA. ARM and x86 sales will eventually be one in the same at VIA because of the hybrid arch.We are talking about x86 MPU sales. VIA sells much more than x86 MPUs.
It would be interesting to know how VIA have solved dual ARM & x86 support.
And couldn't they make the switching dynamic in runtime? Like you can switch back and forth between thumb vs non-thumb mode on ARM.
It would be beneficial for manufacturers and consumers of computing devices to be able to preserve their investment regardless of which of the two architectures prevails. Therefore, what is needed is a solution that would allow system manufacturers to develop computing devices that enable users to run both x86 architecture and ARM architecture programs.
