C3 Nehemia C5P with better hardware RNG and AES support

[Eugen Leitl]

(got booted off the list due to bounces)

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 which) at
12.5 GBit/s rate.

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