Via is celebrating what it says is its first contract to supply its "carbon
free" C7-D desktop processor to a major PC manufacture.
The energy-efficient chip will be used in an HP Compaq dx2020
computer targetted exclusively at businesses in China.
Via marketing executive Richard Brown
back-tracked a
little during a recent visit to London on the "carbon free" claim, which was
based partly on a pledge to offset carbon use by planting trees. Some research
suggests that, away from equatorial regions, this can actually have increase
global warming.
This does not detract from the fact that the 1.5GHz C7-D processor used in
the nrew HP model draws a maximum 20 watts and has been certified by the China's
energy-rating agency, the CECP.
China has a bad record on pollution but Chinese giant Lenovo, which bought
IBM's Pc business, recently
got
top marks from Greenpeacefor green computing.
