TAIPEI, Taiwan, February 25 /PRNewswire/ --

- Designed to take industrial environments in its stride, the hand-sized
VIA AMOS-3000 is the first Pico-ITX fanless embedded box computer

VIA Technologies, Inc., a leading innovator of power efficient x86
processor platforms, today announced the launch of VIA's first embedded box
computer; the VIA AMOS-3000. Ideal for a variety of embedded applications,
the VIA AMOS-3000 is a robust, custom-designed system based on the ultra
compact and versatile VIA EPIA-P700 Pico-ITX board.

Inspired by classical Chinese architecture, the VIA AMOS-3000 chassis
combines heavy-duty steel, aluminum and copper in a unique heat fin design
that offers superb heat dissipation. Using only five mechanical pieces -- top
cover, bottom plate, front and rear I/O access plates and DOM module -- and
measuring only 13.5cm(w) x 4.5cm(h) x 13.1cm(d), the VIA AMOS-3000 is strong,
durable and heat efficient, yet tiny enough to fit in the palm of your hand.
The VIA AMOS-3000 can be installed easily using simple table, wall and VESA
mounting options.

The VIA AMOS-3000 is a complete system that uses no moving parts, making
it an excellent choice for mission-critical applications in harsh industrial
environments, while the full featured VIA EPIA Pico-ITX board is ideal for a
range of x86 applications including gaming, digital signage, industrial
automation and in-car entertainment, supporting both DVI-D and VGA outputs.

"We have drawn on the strength of our engineering expertise in developing
our boards and form factors and taken the step of developing our own
custom-designed systems. This has allowed us to produce some truly compelling
embedded system designs," said Daniel Wu, Vice President, VIA Embedded
Platform Division, VIA Technologies, Inc. "The VIA AMOS-3000 represents the
first of many diverse embedded system products based around our own exclusive
range of EPIA boards."

The VIA AMOS-3000 will be on show at Embedded World 2009 in Nuremberg,
Germany; for more details please visit:

The VIA AMOS-3000 is based on a VIA EPIA-P700 Pico-ITX board, powered by
either a 1GHz VIA C7 processor or a 500MHz VIA Eden ULV processor, and
supports up to 1GB of DDR2 SO-DIMM system memory. It has a certified
operating temperature of -20 to 60 degrees C, vibration tolerance of up to
5Grms and a shock tolerance of up to 50G.
