On display at Computex this year were VIA's latest incarnations of their as yet unreleased Nano-ITX form factor boards, their EPIA N and EPIA NL. Specifications are essentially unchanged from what we already know, apart from one major difference - the inclusion of a Luke package to reduce chip density.
The Luke Corefusion platform combines VIA's Eden-N processor and CN400 Northbridge into one elongated aluminium package, as seen in the pictures above. Comparisons can be drawn with AMD's LX800 CPU, which also combines graphics functionality into one package.
VIA also had a working NL board on show, with a fairly meaty heatsink taking up most of the surface area - as shown in our main picture, courtesy of VIAArena.
