Transcend Introduces aXeRam DDR3 Extreme Performance Memory

Transcend introduced its aXeRam DDR3 Extreme Performance memory in DDR3-1800 2GB/4GB and DDR3-1600 2GB kits. These modules are designed specifically for hardcore gamers and are made of high-quality DRAM chips and custom high-purity aluminum heatsinks with cooling fins for improved overclocking.

VIA Mobile-ITX Form Factor - Smallest There Can Be?

VIA Technologies is going to introduce the new Mobile-ITX form factor late this or early next year. A VIA Mobile-ITX board will be twice as smaller as a Pico-ITX one. As you might remember, currently Pico-ITX, sized 100x72mm, is the smallest form factor in VIA's arsenal.

Mobile-ITX will support platforms featuring VIA Eden, C-7 and Nano processors.

Besides, VIA demonstrated a few robots at the recent Taipei International Robot Show. The peculiarity is that robots' controllers have Pico-ITX form factor. The company stated that miniature footprint and low power consumption of its platforms are well suited for robotics.
