VIA claims that the Nano family, which uses Fujitsuís 65 nanometer process, offers as much as four times the performance of its previous-generation within the same power and thermal envelope, while offering pin-compatibility with... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/29/isiah.based.nano.chips/ Thu, 29 May 2008 10:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/17/pa.semis.powerpc.chips/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0804/pasemi.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Apple will reportedly offer legacy support for PA Semi's line of PowerPC-based processors following pressure from the government and clearing up rumors that surfaced after the chipmaker's acquisition by Apple last month.
