I've seen the Via C3 933Mhz processor for sale... doesn anyone know if they will release anything faster than this? I'd like to get one for my SV24, but dont' want to buy one, only for them to come out w/ a faster one 3 weeks down the road.

The 1GHz C3 based on the Ezra core is supposed to debute sometime late this quarter.
You won't see anything much faster then that from VIA until the C5N Ezra-T core debuts shortly after mid-year.

Will the ezra core have any enhancements to its core besides a smaler productions process?

I had heard VIA was developing a new CPU that was super scalar, supported out of order execution, and had a totally retooled FPU. Am I just dreaming? A passively cooled one of those types of chips would rock for a server/lowend gaming box.
