Two UK PC manufacturers have announced "carbon conscious" computers using
VIA
Technologies' recently launched low-power C7-D chip.
Tranquil
PC and
Evesham
Technology have launched what has been misleadingly termed 'carbon free' PCs
based on Via's processor.
The C7-D has a maximum power consumption of 20W and claims to set new
standards for performance-per-watt operation. Tranquil describes its PCs as "
carbon neutral".
At the launch of
the chip last month, Via promised to compensate for the carbon dioxide that
is produced to power the chip by funding energy conservation, reforestation and
alternative energy projects.
Evesham's green machine is called the
Crusader
Carbon3 PC, priced at £299 excluding VAT and shipping, and Tranquil is using
the chip in its new
T7
range.
The VIA C7-D processor is based on the low profile NanoBGA2 package that
measures just 21mm x 21mm and is scalable from 1.5GHz to 1.8GHz.
