C3 Nehemia C5P with better hardware RNG and AES support

[Eugen Leitl]

News in from San Jose microprocessor forum:

latest VIA C3 C5P does 1 GHz at 7 W power dissipation,
has now two hardware RNG engines (and two x86 opcodes to
read them), and an Advanced Cryptography Engine
which can do AES (Rijndael128? doesn't say) at
12.5 GBit/s rate.

Next-generation (Esther, early 2004) will add SHA-1 support
in hardware.
