Via produces new kiosk-specific motherboard
May 12, 2010
WindowsforDevices.comreports that component maker Via has released a new motherboard aimed at kiosks.
The Epia-M830 is targeted at emerging kiosk and POS (point-of-sale) systems, says Via. Potential applications include cashless purchasing and self-service infrastructures in supermarkets and gas stations, as well as advanced POI (point of interest), lotto, and gaming machines, says the company.
The Epia-M830 is closely related to the Epia-M800 Mini-ITX board announced in December. Like the Epia-M800, the Epia-M830 runs on a Via Nano processor and Via VX800 chipset, which is cited for its DirectX9 integrated graphics and HD audio.
Accordng to the report, the Nano E-Series can deliver up to 20 percent greater performance than previous Nanos, while using up to 20 percent less power, claims Via.
"The VIA EPIA-M830 board represents a milestone in kiosk device design, packing a wealth of kiosk-oriented features and enhancements into a high performance, 64-bit platform," said Daniel Wu, vice president, Via Embedded Platform Division, Via Technologies. "This highly focused platform arms developers with the tools to build the next phase of interactive kiosks."
