VIA Eden is a variant of VIA's C3/C7 x86 processors, designed to be used in embedded devices. They have smaller package sizes, lower power consumption, and somewhat lower computing performance than their C equivalents, due to reduced clock rates. They are often used in EPIA mini-ITX, nano-ITX, and Pico-ITX motherboards. In addition to x86 instruction decoding, the processors have a second undocumented Alternate Instruction Set.
The Eden is available in four main versions: Name Core Clock speed Package FSB Eden ESP Samuel 2 and Nehemiah cores 300 MHz–1.0 GHz EBGA 35mm×35mm 66/100/133 MHz Eden-N Nehemiah core 533 MHz–1.0 GHz NanoBGA 15mm×15mm 133 MHz Eden Esther core 400 MHz–1.2 GHz NanoBGA2 21mm×21mm 400 MT/s FSB Eden ULV Esther core 500 MHz–1.5 GHz NanoBGA2 21mm×21mm 400 MT/s FSB
The Eden ULV 500 MHz was the first variant to achieve a TDP of 1W .http://www.viatech.com/en/2007/08/via-announces-1-watt-processor-the-worlds-most-power-efficient-x86-cpu/ VIA Eden ULV 500MHz press release
