motherboard introduces more
The motherboard x86 world's smallest full-featured and is available , together with a supplementary card I / O specialist to help system developers.
Taipei, Taiwan, May 22, 2007 - VIA Technologies, Inc, a leading innovator and developer of silicon chip technologies and PC platform solutions, today announced the motherboard (mainboard) VIA EPIA PX, the first commercial mainboard based in the recent launch of VIA, the form factor Pico-ITX, which measures just 10cm x 7.2cm.
Powered by the 1GHz VIA C7 processor and supporting up to 1GB of system memory SO-DIMM DDR2 533, the VIA EPIA PX mainboard thin 10-layer built around the system single-chip VIA VX700 media processor, the including the graphics core VIA UniChrome Pro II IGP 3D/2D, hardware decoding acceleration of MPEG-2/-4 and WMV9 and flexibility of screen display, including support for higher display resolutions of HDTV for HD DVD playback.
integrated connectors on the card and the capabilities of I / O (input and output) enable developers to harness the full power of the mainboard, though the VIA PX- O , a daughter board (daughterboard) with multiple ports I / O for digital media, is available on request to assist project developers in early system testing.
The efficient use of energy is an integral part of the platform, with a maximum Processor (TDP) and chipset at 9W and 3.5W respectively combined with the memory of low-power DDR2 empower the VIA EPIA PX to run standard productivity and multimedia applications at under 13W.
"The VIA EPIA PX mainboard sets a new world standard for ultra compact platforms of integrated systems, providing a full complement of multimedia and connectivity options on a platform smaller than any standard PC mainboard or x86 system on module," said Daniel Wu, Assistant Vice President for Division VIA Platform Solutions at VIA Technologies, Inc. "We are very excited about our new mainboard 'baby', and we are working closely with manufacturers of chassis and other infrastructure to accelerate the adoption of this form factor. "
This scale of platform miniaturization has been made possible only by the reduction in size core silicon nanoBGA2 package of 21mm square of the VIA C7 and VIA system media processor VX700 35mm square have a combined area of \u200b\u200bjust 16.7cm2, a card that saves more than 50% in size than the previous generation EBGA processors plus twin processor solutions for core logic, and more than that compared with competitive solutions.
