Taipei, Taiwan, May 14th, 2008 - VIA Technologies, Inc announced the successor to the previously smallest of all x86 systems, the EPIA PX10000.

The EPIA platforms continue to improve their power consumption characteristics, with the new VIA Eden ULV processor working at 500MHz. The total power the board will require it's not specified, but it mustn't be very high, because they opened a challenge to see how much it endures without a heatsink (the PX5000EG already looses the fan). After several weeks, they ended overheating the whole thing with a hair drier.

The new Pico-ITX integrates on a surface of 10 x 7.2cm as many components as: LVDS/DVI and VGA support , 5.1 sound, Ethernet 100/10, IDE and S-ATA connectors, six USB and one COM port. It also includes the VIA UniChrome™ Pro II IGP 3D/2D with MPEG-2/-4 a WMV9 decoding capabilities.
