Via to Drive High-Definition Video into Small Form-Factor Systems

From X-bit Labs: Via Technologies, a developer of microprocessors, graphics chips and core-logic sets, has announced a new platform that should enable feature-rich multimedia systems with very low power consumption. The new “Trinity” platform will utilize mini-ITX 2.0 form-factor, Via Nano processor, S3 Graphics’ graphics processing unit as well as a Via core-logic.

“With Mini-ITX 2.0, we declared that small form factor meant no compromise on essential technologies or performance. The Via Trinity platform is a natural extension of that philosophy for ultra compact systems. This platform leverages Via’ long-standing expertise in shrinking the form factor to deliver a truly high definition experience in small devices, perfect for a variety of lifestyles and applications,” said Richard Brown, vice president of marketing at Via Technologies.

Via Trinity platform comprises three chips: Via Nano or Via C7 central processing unit (CPU), Via VX800 single-chip core-logic as well as Via Chrome 500-series, 400-series or 20-series graphics processing unit (GPU).
