VIA Cyrix III/VIA C3
Various VIA Socket 370 CPUs
The VIA Cyrix III (later called the VIA C3) is a Socket 370
compatible processor designed by the Centaur team that built the
various WinChip CPUs. It is not competitive with Intel Celeron
unless run at a much higher relative clock speed. The Cyrix IIIs
and C3s did however consume very little power compared to other
offerings available for Socket 370.
Several core revisions were made and figuring out what exact CPU
one has in hand is a task in itself. The most noticeable variant
is the newest core revision, known as Nehemiah, which was the
only variant which had it's FPU run at full speed instead of the
half speed all the previous C3s had their FPU run at. A good
indication to visually identify which core revision one might
have in hand is to look for the voltage the CPU is designated to
be run at (usually printed onto the CPU itself).
VIA had a list of compatible motherboards on their website,
though it doesn't list which cores are compatible with what
motherboard.
C3 compatible motherboards
the boards listed here are the ones that were listed on the VIA
website as officially supporting VIAs C3 CPU for Socket 370. The
official list however didn't mention which exact variant of
C3/Cyrix III were compatible with which board, so one would be
better to consult the manual of the board.
Some of the boards listed here may require a BIOS update for the
VIA C3 to function correctly
The list here is provided as-is, so use at your own risk.
