Measuring 6cm x 6cm, VIA’s EPIA-T700 is the first chip launched in the new Mobile-ITX series which is actually the smallest computer-on-module available, even 50 per cent smaller than VIA’s small-sounding Pico-ITX. That sounds, err, small.
Via’s been on a roll lately with power-efficient products, and the VN1000 continues the trend.
A bunch of great netbook upgrades are on the way—next-gen Intel processors in January; smooth HD video playback—but to spare you the brain hemorrhage of keeping track, we’ve laid it all out. Here’s what you need to know.
Via’s Pico-ITX motherboard was small and powerful to begin with, but their new Mobile-ITX platform is about half the size and supposedly still packs a punch while keeping power consumption low.
Via’s latest nano processor, the 3000, has gone official today for a release in early 2010 in speeds ranging between 1-2GHz. The promise? Twenty per cent lower power consumption than old Vias and 1080p playback. Intel’s gotten cocky enough in the space that we don’t mind the competition one bit.
