VIA under market name WonderMedia presented another mobile processor for cheap smartphones and tablets. Featured chip WM8880 is designed for mobile devices from the lower market segment and should compete with similar solutions like MediaTek and other companies.

Not that long ago DFI sent me an interesting little board. This was their Mini-ITX  P55 LanParty board. Unfortunately, it died during testing (a choke blew up, literally blew up) but it was only the first of many that would begin to parade into the market.  Now sitting next to me is another Mini-ITX board, this one from GIGABYTE (and hopefully better made). It is their H55 version so it is really meant to run the Clarkdale series CPUs although it can certainly run any of the 1156 CPUs from Intel.
