VIA has recently unveiled the Nano 3000 series processors, which are actually a competitor to the Intel Atom CPUs. Based on the 64-bit superscalar ‘Isaiah’ architecture, the VIA Nano CPUs support several advanced features including 64-bit support, advanced CPU virtualization technology, SSE4 for enhanced multimedia processing, and the industry-leading encryption and security capabilities integrated in the VIA PadLock Security Engine. VIA’s new Nano 3000 series will be released in Q1 2010. [VIA]
VIA today launched its latest motherboard, the EPIA N700-10EW Nano-ITX, which is able to maintain absolute stability within a wide temperature range from -20°C to 70°C. Powered by a power-efficient 1GHz VIA Eden ULV processor and the latest VIA VX800 media system processor, this fan less motherboard also features completely solid state capacitors. The EPIA N700-10EW Nano-ITX measures at only 12cm x 12cm and supports up to 2GB of DDR2 system memory, two S-ATA connectors, USB 2.0 ports, COM and PCIe-based Gigabit LAN ports. [FarEastGizmos]
Fujitsu will use VIA’s Eden ULV (Ultra Low Voltage) processor for the upcoming FUTRO S100 thin client. The chip will provide 500MHz of power with a low TDP of just one watt. The Fujitsu FUTRO S100 thin client is designed for server-based computing and virtual workplace solutions and contains no moving parts. Other specs include a 1GB of DDR2 memory, a pair of USB 2.0 connectors, VGA output, Ethernet, a VX800 media processor, Chrome9 HC3 graphics and internal CF-based storage support. No word on pricing so far. [Engadget]
Here is the Via Amos 3000, a fanless computer that is powered by a 500MHz processor and VESA mounting tracks, so you can screw it into the back of most monitors. Its Pico ITX motherboard supports a 1GB of RAM, UniChrome video, Gigabit Ethernet, and a single 44-pin IDE interface. Other features include four USB ports, a VGA, a DVI and a serial port on the back. The computer runs on either Windows XP, XP embedded or CE. [BoingBoing]
The Via Artigo A2000 home server is powered by VIA 1.5GHz processor with up to 2GB RAM, two powered SATA bays, Gigabit Ethernet, three USB 2.0 ports, Hardware HD video encoding and optional Wi-Fi connectivity. [Boing Boing]
VIA has showed off its new entertainment robots at the World Trade Center in Taipei, Taiwan. There are three robots at VIA booths, which are powered by VIA EPIA Pico-ITX motherboard and are provided by PlayRobot, a Taiwan-based robot developer and distributor. With these robots, VIA tries to show to customers that the VIA EPIA Pico-ITX motherboard is perfect for academic, hobbyist and commercial robot developers. [FarEastGizmos]
EPIA N700 is the first board embedded with the company’s VX800 processor. The VIA VX800 media system processor is an all-in-one, highly integrated digital media chipset featuring the latest video, graphics and connectivity performance in a single chip. It offers DirectX9 graphics core and video playback for MPEG-2, MPEG-4, WMV9, VC1 and DiVX video formats. The board is available with either a power-efficient 1.5GHz VIA C7 or 500MHz VIA Eden processor, supports up to 2GB of DDR2 system memory and includes two onboard S-ATA connectors, USB 2.0, COM and Gigabit LAN ports. The VIA EPIA N700 board is the most compact Nano-ITX board so far measuring only 12cm x 12cm. It should be available through resellers in September, price is TBD. [VIA]
TongFang has unveiled its new TongFang Imini S1 mini notebook. This portable gadget features 10.2 inch LCD display with Via 1.2GHz processor, VIA VX700 chipset, 512MB RAM and 80GB hard drive. There is no word on availability or pricing. I think the TongFang Imini S1 Mini Note is cheaper than its competitor because it is not using SSD. [AVING via Laptop Blog]
VIA has recently unveiled its new chipsets with integrated graphics for the mobile (VX800, 5 Watts) and ultra-mobile (VX-800U 3.5 Watts) markets. The VX-800 will be available later this month. [VIA]
VIA has produced a new fanless Eden ULV processor that is clocked at 500MHz and only requires 1 watt of electricity to run. The low power requirements found in this new processor will target firms that design and engineer embedded systems which require low power consumption, while those looking for an eco-friendly design will definitely welcome this development. In the near future, VIA also plans to produce 1GHz and 1.5GHz versions that consume 3.5 and 7.5 watts respectively.
