Press release, June 30; Joseph Tsai, DIGITIMES [Monday 30 June 2008]

VIA Technologies has announced the VIA Epia P700 Pico-ITX motherboard that couples several features within a streamlined, ultra compact footprint designed for low profile systems, with extended I/O port options through two companion boards. The board featuring native SATA 3Gb/s support, Gigabit LAN, and support for GPIO, SM bus and LPC devices, and measuring 10×7.2cm is based on the VIA VX700 unified digital media IGP chipset and is powered by a 1GHz VIA C7 or fanless 500MHz VIA Eden ULV processor. An integrated power adapter coupled with the 5V S-SATA power cable negates the need for a separately powered daughterboard, saving considerable space for ultra compact systems. The VIA Epia P700 also features two companion boards – the P700-A board features an RJ45 port, a VGA port and a COM port, while the P700-B sports four USB ports and three audio jacks for multi-channel surround sound. The two companion boards fit seamlessly with the linear pin-headers on either side of the VIA Epia P700 to enable ultra low profile devices. | VIA EPIA-P700 Pico-ITX motherboard specifications | | Item | Detail | | Model Name | VIA EPIA-P700-10L VIA EPIA-P700-05LE | | Processor | 1.0GHz VIA C7 processor 500MHz VIA fanless Eden ULV processor | | Chipset | VIA VX700 Unified Digital Media IGP chipset | | System Memory | 1 x DDR2 533/667 SO-DIMM socket, Up to 1GB memory size | | VGA | Integrated VIA UniChrome Pro II 3D/2D AGP graphics | | Onboard IDE | 1 x UltraDMA 133/100 Pin Connectors with 2.0mm 44-pin right-angle type | | Onboard Serial ATA | 1 x SATA connector 1 x SATA power connector (5V) | | Onboard LAN | 1 x VIA VT6122 Gigabit LAN controller (a connector board is required or 1 x VIA VT6107 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet controller (manufacturing option) | | Onboard Audio | VIA VT1708B High Definition Audio Codec | | Onboard I/O Connectors | 1 x LAN pin header 1 x CRT/DVI pin header 1 x COM Port pin header 1 x CPU Fan pin connector 1 x Audio pin connector for Line-out, Line-in, MIC-in 1 x Front panel pin header 4 x USB 2.0 ports pin header 1 x PS2 mouse/keyboard pin header 1 x LVDS pin connector 1 x LPC/SM Bus/GPIO pin header 1 x +12V DC-In 2-pin jack with lock | | Operating System | Windows XP, Linux, Win CE, XPe | | Form Factor | Pico-ITX (10-layer) 10 cm x 7.2 cm | Source: Company, compiled by Digitimes, June 2008
