Mobile-ITX is the smallest (by 2009) x86 compliant motherboard form factor presented by VIA Technologies in December, 2009. The motherboard size (CPU module) is 60mm × 60mm[1]. There are no computer ports on the CPU module and it is necessary to use I/O carrier board. The design is intended for medical, transportation and military embedded markets. First commercial Mobile-ITX CPU module is expected in Q1 2010.

History

Mobile-ITX form factor was announced by VIA Technologies at Computex in June, 2007. The motherboard size of first prototypes was 75mm by 45mm[2]. The design was intended for ultra-mobile computing such as a smartphone or UMPC.

The prototype boards shown to date include a x86 compliant 1 GHz VIA C7-M processor, 256 or 512 megabytes of RAM, a modified version of the VIA CX700 chipset (called the CX700S),[3] an interface for a cellular radio module (demonstration boards contain a CDMA radio), a DC-DC electrical converter, and various connecting interfaces.

At the announcement, an Ultra-Mobile PC reference design was shown running Windows XP Embedded.[4]
