Hardware, Embedded Systems Via Technologies may try to extend the use of its Nano processors from netbooks to servers in a potential challenge to Intel and Advanced Micro Devices. Via has introduced a new Nano-based motherboard for multimedia servers. It is Via's first server product based on the Nano chip, and some analysts said it could mark the start of an effort by Via to expand the chip's role in servers.

Could work, especially if the dual-core form comes out.


Agreed. Many of Nano's frequently-cited shortcomings are irrelevant in the server world (who cares about the GPU in a server?).

CPUs are fast enough these days that (IME) many hosting companies & data centres are presently more concerned about power consumption than raw horsepower.
