ASUS is preparing a motherboard size Mini-ITX based on the AMD Fusion APU

Currently, most energy-efficient compact computers, known as nettop, built on the platform Intel Atom. Sometimes in order to enhance the graphical component to them, added video-series NVIDIA Ion, which naturally affects the price of the product in the direction of its increase.

But soon things in this market can change. We have repeatedly mentioned in the news so-called Fusion APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) - boosters calculations, now developed by AMD. These chips will be a combination of multi-core CPU and graphics core technology to support DirectX 11 in a single chip.

Moreover, the graphical element, even chip Ontario, representing the lower segment of Fusion APU, will have a much better performance compared with its counterpart in the processor Intel Atom. This will enable developers to computer systems not to use third-party GPU, which will significantly reduce the cost of the final product.

Not accidentally leading manufacturers of computer systems are looking forward to starting deliveries Fusion APU, which should begin at the end of this year. But the Taiwanese company ASUSTeK Computer, according to the information Bit-tech, have already begun to develop the motherboard, equipped with the above-mentioned chip Ontario.

This motherboard, based on image representation has very compact dimensions and corresponds to the parameters of the form factor Mini-ITX, that is actually a direct competitor Intel Atom platform with roughly the same low TDP. Thus, such a motherboard with passive cooling will be an excellent basis for HTPC or SFF systems.
