VIA Nano from the basic framework and specifications if used with the Intel Atom compared to the case, Nano also seems to be a good number of years, Nano Although the process is only 65nm, a little lost in the Atom's 45nm, the power consumption than previous At the same time, the clock would also like to Atom high, but Nano for the first time the introduction of out-of-order superscalar implementation of the framework, the original contains VIA's C7 processor prior to the order and are based on the implementation of the framework are quite different.  As for the Nano and some in-house distribution 64KBx2 L1, and 16 of the 1MB L2 cache than Intel Atom are now equipped with some of 32KB L1 cache, the cache is used together with the 16 Way configuration is 8 Way of the Atom twice the cache configuration, making a higher percentage of cache, the processor to deal with enhanced efficiency, therefore, the Nano cache more operational advantages.

NanoAtom£¡ Nano victory over the expansion of capacity Atom!

 Nano is now whether or Atom processors will be embedded directly into the motherboard, not as a general desktop processors can swap, and because the Nano and Atom are used in small computer platforms, so Usually configure the motherboard specifications are based on the size of Mini-ITX as the main specification is suitable for installation in a small case, although the version of the Mini-ITX-size ATX general specifications about 1 / 2 size, but it can be said to be Sparrow Is a fully-equipped small, the basic configuration, or there will be some. 

Although the Nano and Atom are configured in the Mini-ITX motherboard, the Nano, but obviously better than the configuration in the Atom, Nano motherboard apart from the same built-in 10/100M network card, sound card, and other basic built-in device, Nano supported by DDR2 memory slots on the provision of two DIMM, than the Mini-ITX Atom motherboard only to configurable single DDR2 memory slots would also like to come, however, the SATA II interface provides a Nano 4, Atom is the same configuration of the motherboard Group II SATA II interface twice per cent more, while expanding on more flexible.

In addition the most important thing is, Nano offers a PCI-E X16 slot, players can add an additional independent video card to upgrade the performance, the audio-visual multi-media performance will be better, even if the player is to be used 1080p Blu-ray high-definition video is not a problem, the opposite, Atom motherboard only configuration is only one PCI slot, is now used for the PCI interface device is extremely rare, and the scalability is not perfect, so in order to host Nano Board configuration has been almost a slap in the face to the Atom. But it is a pity that at present to see this motherboard only Nano-like version of the project is expected in the fourth quarter of this year, after the official version began to sell in the face of rapid Atom eroded the market, VIA action happen faster It.

  Nano is the most prominent feature of the platform equipped with a single PCI-E X16 slot

 4GB Nano provided by the two DDR2 slots, the maximum support to 4GB
