So not only is this interesting from a CPU design aspect, but on page 2 is something interesting…

We weren’t able to run any benchmarks, but Centaur did have several demo systems set up in order to show off its new processor’s capabilities. One of them played back a compressed video at 720p resolution using the combination of a 1.2GHz ultra-low-voltage Isaiah chip and a VX800 chipset connected by an 800MHz front-side bus. This system used only passive cooling. Another demo rig played a Blu-ray disc fluidly using a 1.3GHz Isaiah assisted by a Radeon HD 3850. And the third system combined a 2GHz Isaiah with a GeForce 7950 GT to run a couple of games, including Viva Pinata and Crysis. I wasn’t able to play any games on this system in our limited time there, but they did look to run smoothly enough.[/quote]
A 1.3Ghz Isaiah core with a UVD enabled Radeon would make for a really small, cheap, and power efficient HTPC.
