New Delhi, Apr 14: VIA Technologies and Hewlett-Packard (HP) today unveiled a highly energy efficient commercial PC -- HP Compaq dx2020 -- powered by the VIA C7-D desktop processor for the China market.

''The HP Compaq dx2020 represents a great opportunity for many more Chinese businesses of all sizes to upgrade their operations while minimising their power costs and environmental impact,'' said Wenchi Chen, President and CEO, VIA Technologies.

Designed from the ground up for reliable commercial performance, the HP Compaq dx2020 combines leading performance per watt with all the latest PC technologies, including DDR2 system memory, Serial ATA hard drive, and USB2.0 for 480Mb/s connections to bandwidth-hungry peripherals, a statement said.
