Digit-Life have some interesting slides from VTF2002 showing the Eden and C3 CPU roadmaps for the next year. The low power consumption Eden CPU will move first to 800Mhz (ESP 8000), then to 1Ghz (ESP 10K) and the C3 is moving to 1Ghz and above. It looks like both these chips are moving towards the Nehemiah core. But what's of most interest is the Eden Chip Set Road Map, which shows MPEG2 acceleration, USB 2 and multiple display support in 2002 and adds MPEG4, DirectX 9 and Serial ATA support in 2003. This gives us more idea of what the elusive EPIA M and next year's EPIA 2 will be capable of.
