I'm little bit sad that VIA didn't produce new CPUs.

Or even if they make - they can be purchased anymore. I have one Eden 600 or 900MHz CPU on Mini-ITX MB.

There's one recent enterprise chip called CHA.

I had a via nano at 1200MHz that was just a lovely machine and ran with just a single silent system fan (no CPU fan even)

Same here! Only fan is on PSU but was small and quiet.

They are still licencing IP out (to China specifically IIRC)

But they did. Except it's now called Zhaoxin, and I believe they completely ignore the US and EU markets.
