processor platforms, today announced the VIA Surfboard C855 Reference
Design – an ultra-compact mainboard incorporating the VIA C7-M ULV
processor, the brand new VIA VX855 unified IGP chipset, and advanced
VIA multimedia and connectivity silicon, that has been specifically
designed for easy integration into devices targeted at the rapidly
growing mini-notebook market.
Unveiled today at the VIA Global Mobility Bazaar (GMB) Tech Forum
Spring in Shenzhen, China – an event bringing together a host of PC
manufacturing and infrastructure partners focused on delivering
affordable, power efficient mini-notebooks to global markets – the VIA
Surfboard C855 Reference Design will not only reduce development time
and costs for system manufacturers, but offers the latest advancements
in ultra-mobile technology including smooth playback of high bit-rate
1080p HD video and outstanding 8-channel HD audio.
While consumers have been quick to endorse the mini-notebook form
factor and the convenience provided by its connectivity and web
surfing capabilities, the rise of HD video has resulted in a growing
demand for better visual computing from ultra-mobile products.
The VIA Surfboard C855 meets this demand by providing flawless
playback of high bit-rate 1080p HD video, which along with support for
internal display resolutions of up to 1366 x 768 pixels and external
display resolutions up to 1920 x 1440 pixels, the latest high
definition VIA Vinyl Audio, and a wide range of connectivity options,
allows for a rich on-the-go multimedia experience.
"A key advantage of the VIA Surfboard C855 is the head start it
affords mini-notebook system developers or those seeking to enter the
market," said Richard Brown, Vice President of Marketing, VIA
Technologies, Inc. "Not only is VIA in the unique position of being
able to offer customers a complete, ready-to-build solution, but the
new board's HD capabilities mean VIA-based mini-notebooks will provide
a superior multi-media entertainment experience."
