it does appear this little thing will be the crowning king of power per watt (better than even PMs). Here are some key stuff:

----------------------------------------------------
VIA C7-M Architecture at a glance

TDP of 20W @ 2.0Ghz
16 pipeline stages
"Efficiency enhanced" 128KB full-speed exclusive L2 cache with 32-way associativity
MMX, SSE, SSE2 & SSE3
90nm SOI (Silicon-on-Insulator)
NX Execute Protection

Fun facts:
Twinhead is in development with a C7-M Variant laptop (No Model identified yet)
Promedion already has a C7-M 2.0Ghz Notebook on sale *GS560* (Only in Europe as of right now )

VIA states that all current 478 VIA-chipset offerings will be able to run the current and future C7 processors
the chip is just a smidgen over 2cm x 2cm! TINY little guy!
