Default Affiliate Review: VIA EPIA EX - Mini-ITX at the next level


VIA EPIA EX - Mini-ITX at the next level

The C7 also gets an increased pipeline, up from 10 stages on the C3 to a 16 stage pipeline – that is two stages more than the Pentium M series had from Intel.

Lastly VIA’s V4 bus may sound new, and in fact it is for VIA – it is the first time they have used this bus, however V4 is simply another name for the Intel FSB used on the Pentium 4’s and Pentium-M CPU. Currently the C7 uses a 100MHz quad-pumped bus (or 400MHz QDR) which is the same as what the original Pentium 4’s came out with – it does give the VIA CPU a lot more bandwidth to play with over its C3 counterpart.
