VIA VX800U Chipset: Moving to Portable Performance |
 |
As the market grows for ultra mobile products such as the popular Mini-Notes, UMPCs and MIDs, the demand for tiny, low power platforms with increasingly improved performance increases.
The VIA VX800U media system processor is an all-in-one digital media IGP chipset that packs the most features and performance into a tiny 31mm x 31mm package; when coupled with the VIA C7®-M processor or upcoming processors based on the VIA Isaiah Architecture, it delivers the smallest total package size (1530mm2), a total processor platform power draw of as little as 7.5 watts, and the best performing platform in the low power, high performance ultra mobile space.
Portable also means personal in a new and more intimate way, and consumers expect the best quality media experience on their personal devices. The VIA VX800U delivers 132-bit /192kHz multi-channel HD audio that’s music to your ears.
And while video on-the-go is the fastest growing mainstream application for today's portable digital content consumer, the VIA VX800U comes through again with a wide range of ultra mobile platform video decoding acceleration support for MPEG-2, MPEG-4, WMV9/VC1 and DiVX video formats through the Chromotion™ video engine. For graphics, the VIA Chrome9™ HC3 integrated graphics processor (IGP) supports full Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0 3D graphics as well as a 128-bit 2D graphics engine.
Portable performance also relies on your ability to store your digital life and the VX800U supports connections to IDE drives as well as SD, MMC and MS memory cards for worry-free compatibility with all your favorite digital technologies. |
VIA VX800U: Driving Ultra Mobility
 Targeted at the rapidly-growing ultra mobile market segment, the VIA VX800U delivers high quality graphics, video and memory performance, including Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0 3D graphics, high definition video and audio playback, and support for up to 4GB of DDR2 system memory, all within a tiny all-in-one package with a maximum power draw of just 3.5 watts.
Fully Microsoft Windows Vista™ compliant, the VIA VX800U supports both current VIA C7-M processors and also upcoming processors based on the VIA Isaiah Architecture, ensuring vendors can offer a wider range of performance and price points utilizing the same platform infrastructure. |
