nice small VIA chip with AES engine

Article here...

I thought the size was nice, the AES engine is much cooler though...

Wow! The thing looks like it's the size of my 8-port network switch.
How's the performance though I wonder?

Not sure, they had numbers (unverified) for the AES thruput, and they mentioned the C5 will go from 1GHz to 2Ghz, so I wouldn't compare equally to a P4, especially with a 64KB L2 cache, but I would expect a fast enough for most applications setup...

w00t, dually's on a mini-ITX. I've always wanted a dually in a micro ATX case.

Those chips are fine for Audio/Video playback. Do a Search in Google for "Carputer" and see what people are doing with them. Pretty nifty stuff.
