Quite literaly to! :)
Worlds smallest mobo.
Well since Atom is still showing low preliminary (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=182954&page=2)performance numbers it's good to know we have something newer to talk about. :D
Its successor: Moorestown
Also a vid if you follow the link

It was brief but it sure was impressive. With all the hubbub surrounding Intel's launch of Atom, let's not forget what's coming: Moorestown. That fiberglass isn't yet populated with the CPU, chipset, WiFi, GPS, 3G cellular radio, or memory... but it will be if you can wait until 2010..

That 2010 number saddens me though.:(

I want full system on a chip with just a power jack, wireless HDMI and mini USB 3.0 :D

That's not to much to ask for, no...? :)

Well you can't use them with a display smaller than that so I think that they are exactly the right size. This is good news indeed. I would love a phone that has the power of a 1Ghz Pentium 3 processor. That would be just great.

Looks like something perfect for more mobile applications in automobiles and small portable devices. I wonder how it would work for an htpc, maybe something you could just hide right behind your tv with a super slim formfactor.

This one is for small mobile devices. There are separate 45nm plans for set-top boxes...

I'm still waiting to see a 64 socket board for those Atom chips!:rofl:

On the back of the board, to cool the whole thing!
