The VIA Nano QuadCore L4700 is a mobile processor with 4 cores, launched in May 2011. It is part of the Nano Quad lineup, using the Isaiah (CNQ) architecture with VIA nanoBGA2. Nano QuadCore L4700 has 1 MB of L2 cache per core and operates at 1200 MHz by default, but can boost up to 1466 MHz, depending on the workload. VIA is making the Nano QuadCore L4700 on a 40 nm production node, the transistor count is unknown. The silicon die of the chip is not fabricated at VIA, but at the foundry of TSMC. The multiplier is locked on Nano QuadCore L4700, which limits its overclocking potential.
With a TDP of 28 W, the Nano QuadCore L4700 consumes only little energy. VIA's processor supports DDR3 memory with a single-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 1333 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Nano QuadCore L4700, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) can run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications.
