In the past year VIA company promised to release the processor, which according to the intention of producers was called to calm ATOM.
A Year passed, and now we can instead of promises see present processor, VIA dual core nano l3050. Operating frequency - 1.8 GHz, TDP-25 W.

According to the first tests this processor came out good. The productivity cleanly exceeds Intel atom, being equal to the processors Intel ULV and nearly reaching the level Of core 2 Duo SU7300. But the negative part : many errors in drivers, which strongly affects media playback , games, and also energy consumption level.
There is a hardware support of HD video decoding . Gaming productivity exceeds any Intel GMA4500MHD.
The same situation with the energy consumption: in this stage processor from VIA is not capable to compete with Intel. For the example: the energy consumption of system on base of VIA : 35,6 watts in rest and 71,2 watts under load, system on base Of Intel d510 : 30,6/34,3.

The performance of VIA solution impresses . It is completely possible that for the correction of situation it is necessary to bring in mind software support. In the following year both Intel and AMD will present new platforms for netbook .
