1. Carbon free computing
One of the VIA Technologies’ideas is to reduce the”carbon footprint” of users the amount of greenhouse gases produced measured in units of carbon dioxide (CO2).Greenhouse gases naturally blanket the earth and are responsible for its more or less stable temperature.
The world has finally taken the first step in reducing emission,The world has finally taken the first step in reducing emissions,The emissions are mainly a result of fossil-fuel-burning power plants VIA aims to offer the world’s first PC product certifield carbon free taking responsibility for the amounts of CO2 they emit.
2. Solar Computing
Solar Computing initiative is a significant parts of its green computing projects.Solar cells fit VIA’s power efficient silicon , platform,and system technologies and enable the company to develop fully solar-powered devices that are non-polluting silent and highly reliable
Solar cells require very little maintenance throughout their ;lifetime and once initial installation costs are covered they provide energy at virtually no cost.
3. Energy efficient computing
A central goal of VIA’s green computing initiative is the development of energy efficen platforms for low power small form,factor (SFF) computing devices In 2005,the company introduced the VIA C7 and VIA C7 processors that have a maximum power consumption of 20W at 2,0GHz an average power consumption of 1W.These energy-efficient processors produce over four times less carbon during their operation and can be efficiently embedded in solar powered devices.
Powering computers using green electricity generated from sources such as solar,wind,bio –fuels ,and others may reduce pollution and greenhouse gases , although improving the efficiency of electrical devices remains more cost effective at present
