How do they differ? MW8650 VT8650 VM8650

[tiyoi]

I'm looking at various tables and advertised as VIA 8650 CPUs. However, the model all differ and are as follows MW8650, VT8650, VM8650.

So how do these processor differ?

Also I've noticed some advertise these tablets as:
* 800MHz
* 800MHz and up to 1GHz
* 800MHz CPU + 300MHz DSP

Why is it all advertised so different? Anyone able to elaborate? Thank you.

It's up to the different makers of the tablets, not up to VIA. If you want a "low down" on the chipsets look here: VIA Technologies, Inc.

Otherwise, you just have to look at the tablet maker's specs for each tablet. They could all very well be the same, but marketing tries to make each look special. Any CPU has a range of operation, from a base in Mhz to a slight O/C.

I do not work for VIA, only a volunteer here. VIA never reads this Forum. In the Support section of the link I posted, you can try the "Contact Us" link, see what VIA says, if anything at all.

I would look up the website for the maker of the netbook, Prixton. I don't know of any download for that O/S from VIA.
