Nano processor board
VIA Technologies, a developer of silicon chip technologies and embedded platform solutions, is demonstrating the VIA Nano processor-based Mini-ITX board at the Embedded Systems Conference in Boston.
The VIA VB8001 board is said to be a full featured Mini-ITX board using the 1,6GHz VIA Nano processor, which is designed to support up to 4GB of DDR2 memory, Gigabit LAN and two Serial ATA ports, and to deliver 64-bit performance within a rigidly low thermal envelope, while a mini-PC slot can extend connectivity to wireless broadband, the company says.
The VIA CN896 digital media IGP chipset aims to provide a rich multimedia experience, with its integrated Chrome9 graphics accelerator for DirectX 9.0 3D graphics, and support for VIA Vinyl 5.1 Audio and popular add-in graphics cards through the 16-lane PCI Express slot, the company adds.
