VIA Technologies has introduced its latest mini-ITX motherboards, two members of the EPIA EX family.
The VIA CX700M2 chipset works on the foundations of the EPIA EX series. For the EX 15000G, the VIA C7 processor runs at 1,5 GHz, while for the EX 10000G, the CPU clock is only 1 GHz.
The single memory slot on 17 × 17 cm motherboards can hold up to 1 GB of DDR533 modules running at 2 MHz, as well as a PCI slot, a UDMA and two SATA connectors, and two USB 2.0 ports on the back. portot.
UniChrome Pro II, an integrated graphics controller from S3 Graphics, hardware-encodes high-definition MPEG-2/4 and WMV9 videos, while audio is provided by the eight-channel VIA VT1708A audio controller. A real special feature in this segment is the HDTV output, which supports 720p (1280 × 720) and 1080i (1920 × 1080) resolutions, but the VC1 and H.264 hardware encoding has been left out of the repertoire.
In the case of EPIA EX motherboards, we can talk about a consumption of only 13,6 watts, the manufacturer has not yet announced their launch and goods, but we will most likely see VIA's latest products at CES in Las Vegas in January, and then maybe learn more aboutt hem.
