Via Introduces Tiny 1 Ghz Chip

scapegoat · 15-October-03, 02:44 PM

At only 15mmX15mm, thats is one small chip!

"The chip runs at six watts at 800MHz and seven watts at 1GHz, claims Via, and doesn't need a fan, as you'd expect.The chip is called the Eden-N chip, and Via says it's half the size of a Pentium M and will use a 12cm x 12cm Nano-ITX motherboard."

WOW imagine the mod potential with one of those teeny nano-ITX motherboards O_O

Soon you will be able to wear these things on your wrist like a watch!! Damn that is small!!

it seems like when everything is getting smaller it will be cooler. but when you think about it when the whole computer is the size a wrist watch then there will be nothing to mod, nothing to do. like right now stuff is perfect, theres enough to see if you put a window in your case, and what you do see is cool looking. i dont know mabey there will be a new breed of modding with tiny computers but i guess we will all have to wait and see.

Holy crap man, that's freaking tiny. I'm afraid I'd lose it.

Hmmm, I'm thinking PPCs that run winxp.

i can't believe how small it is, that cpu is as big and the die on pentium. Thats crazy.

UPDATE:

Heres a shot ive found of the VIA Nano-ITX formfactor ,,, this board measures... only 4.7"X4.7"

Dimazz · 16-October-03, 09:38 PM

holy crap you could put that thing into anything. what kinda ram does it take? and where is the socket for the proc? why do they even put a floppy controler on it? you got a shot of the underside of it? that is so cool but like i said above when the mobo gets to be the size of the proc up there and the proc is 50nm wide then it wont be cool to mod it anymore.

i got the best idea with this mobo, say you have a case. (an old one you modded) and make a tiny one that looks the same exact was with this mobo, so you could have a minime.

it looks like it will take notebook ram. it has video out. hmm. i wonder how power freindly will it be as a whole.
i think its time for digital picture fram building. if its low priced.
