Non-stop Mobility - Designed for Longer Battery Life of Mobile Personal Electronics Systems

Battery life is significantly affected by the power consumption and efficiency of the processor, the brain of the PC and also the most demanding silicon component in a mobile system. The VIA C3™-M is designed to enable mobile systems to operate for the longest possible time between charges, allowing users to take in a DVD movie on the train or move between multiple meetings without having to constantly search for the nearest wall socket.

Based on the highly efficient VIA CoolStream™ architecture, the VIA C3-M makes it possible to extend the time between those inconvenient recharges through its industry leading low power consumption. Additionally, it requires less forced air-cooling from power hungry fans, leaving battery power for more important computing tasks.

VIA developed PowerSaver 3.0 technology to further extend the battery life of VIA C3-M mobile systems by reducing power consumption with as much as 50% through dynamically adjusting both the frequency and the voltage of the VIA C3-M when the workload on the system allows for it.

VIA C3-M mobile devices are most often available with the VIA CN400 digital media chipset that incorporates various hardware based digital video and audio enhancing features that help to extend battery life by reducing the workload on the processor. These include an MPEG2 decoder, an MPEG4 accelerator and the highly acclaimed VIA Vinyl Audio for consumer electronics quality entertainment experience.

Extending the time between charges, the VIA C3-M helps to increase enjoyment, productivity and functionality from slim and light VIA C3-M mobile Personal Electronics systems.
