Friday, December 29, 2006:
VIA Technologies has announced the launch of VIA EPIA EX-Series Mini-ITX motherboards, the first of VIA's compact platforms to feature the new VIA CX700M2 system media processor. Powered by the highly efficient 1.5GHz or fanless 1.0GHz VIA C7 processor, the VIA EPIA EX has an average operating power consumption of just 13.6 watts for digital media devices.

Commenting on the new launch, Daniel Wu, assistant vice president, VIA platform solutions division, VIA Technologies, Inc., said, "Leveraging the power-efficient VIA processors and the extensive feature set of the VIA CX700M2 media system processor, the VIA EPIA EX speaks directly to the demands of CE developers."
Specifically designed for the fast-growing x86-based consumer electronics market, the VIA EPIA EX mainboard features full consumer I/O, including ports for composite, component and S-Video, S/PDIF audio, and onboard connectors for LVDS and DVI displays, with USB2.0 and IEEE1394 peripheral connectivity, full-featured SATA II RAID, and 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet for seamless broadband connectivity, with a Gigabit Ethernet option.
The VIA EPIA EX also boasts the VIA CX700M2 advanced system media processor, an all-in-one digital media IGP chipset integrating the VIA UniChrome Pro II 2D/3D graphics core and an extended array of high-end video and audio technologies, including hardware decoding acceleration of MPEG-2/-4 and WMV9 video, a built-in HDTV encoder up to 1080i, 720p output and VIA Vinyl Multi-channel HD audio for a richer listening experience.
Combining such a range of features and the VIA silicon platform onto a mainboard reduces the need for add-in cards and compatibility testing, greatly reducing time to market and significantly lowering the total cost of development for SIs and OEMs.
