The ultra-compact and highly integrated VIA EPIA-P700 Pico-ITX
mainboard is the smallest form-factor available today. Through a high
level of integration, the Pico-ITX form factor is 75% smaller than Mini-
ITX form factor. The mainboard enables the creation of an exciting new
generation of small, ergonomic, innovative and affordable embedded
systems. The mainboard comes with an integrated VIA 7® NanoBGA2
or fanless VIA Eden processor, boasting of ultra-low power consumption
and cool operation.
