So tiny

VIA Technologies has shown some quite interesting stuff this year and it's quite a shame that we haven't seen many of those concepts in retail, but once again managed to stun us with its announcement of the new Mobile-ITX form factor. The new form factor is 50 percent smaller than Pico-ITX and it basically fits in the palm of your hand, so this is something that will certainly have a bright future in niche markets. |
Mobile-ITX is the smallest x86 compliant motherboard form factor. It was announced by VIA Technologies at Computex in June, 2007. The motherboard size is 75mm by 45mm, smaller than a business card.[1] The design is intended for ultra-mobile computing such as a smartphone or UMPC. The prototype boards shown to date include a x86 compliant 1 GHz VIA C7-M processor, 256 or 512 megabytes of RAM, a modified version of the VIA CX700 chipset (called the CX700S),[2] an interface for a cellular radio module (demonstration boards contain a CDMA radio), a DC-DC electrical converter, and various connecting interfaces. At the announcement, an Ultra-Mobile PC reference design was shown running Windows XP Embedded.[3] |
