VIA Unveils Power x86 Processor on Board

VIA Technologies Inc has announced the VIA EPIA PX5000EG Pico-ITX board that features the VIA Eden ULV processor, offering embedded developers an compact, highly integrated board. Building on the success of the VIA EPIA PX10000 Pico-ITX board, the VIA EPIA PX5000EG adds the incredible heat and power efficiency of the 500MHz VIA Eden ULV processor with its maximum power draw of just one watt. The system designers of embedded automation and industrial control devices can now take advantage of a full x86 system that fits neatly into the most extreme space constrained, heat sensitive environments. Developed by VIA, the Pico-ITX form factor squeezes a feature set into a mere 10cm x 7.2cm. A system in the palm of your hand, the VIA EPIA PX5000EG includes both LVDS/DVI and VGA support, integrated 5.1 channel audio, fast 100/10 Ethernet, both IDE and S-ATA drive support and up to six USB ports and a COM port. The VIA welcomes you to take part in the 'Naked Pico Challenge' where we will push the VIA EPIA PX5000EG Pico-ITX board to its absolute limits by running a system under full load without any cooling whatsoever.
