New review coming soon

Yesterday we posted a review of VIA's Atom killer Nano CPU, here. We weren't thrilled by the new CPU, but shortly after publishing the article we were contacted by VIA, who explained that the poor performance should be attributed to a fault in the re-working process, caused by re-soldering embedded chips.

The tested motherboard was a test platform based on a modified EPIA SN18000, not a retail board. Sadly, some of the boards provided to the media by VIA showed significantly degraded performance due to the aforementioned fault.

VIA is eager to provide us with a replacement sample board and we're expecting to do a new review shortly. Hopefully, we will have more luck with the replacement unit and get some higher scores.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused, stay tuned.
