The C7 is dead, long live the Isaiah or, to call it something a little bit less biblical,  ong live the VIA Nano™.

The Nano is a 64 bits CPU made using a 65 nanometres process, with 1MB of L2 cache and an 800 MHz FSB; it will require between the 25W of the L2100 (1.8 GHz ) all the way down to the 5W of the U24000 (1.0 GHz ). Maybe you don't think that's special, but it means a huge plus if we compare it's performance with that of the C7. Don't believe us? check this out:

We still await for real reviews. For now, all we can say is that, based on the data provided in another graph, it's performance under OfficeBench 2007 is comparable with that of a Celeron-M running at the same frequency. Of course, we're extrapolating from results offered by VIA when comparing the efficiency of both processors. You need to have faith in them, first.
