context_page_description: Mobile-ITX is the smallest x86 compliant motherboard form factor presented by VIA Technologies in December, 2009. The motherboard size is 60 × 60 mm. There are no computer ports on the CPU module and it is necessary to use an I/O carrier board. The design is intended for medical, transportation and military embedded markets.
context_section_description: The Mobile-ITX form factor was announced by VIA Technologies at Computex in June, 2007.  The motherboard size of first prototypes was 75 × 45 mm (3.0 × 1.8 in). The design was intended for ultra-mobile computing such as a smartphone or UMPC.
  The prototype boards shown to date include a x86-compliant 1 GHz VIA C7-M processor, 256 or 512 megabytes of RAM, a modified version of the VIA CX700 chipset (called the CX700S), an interface for a cellular radio module (demonstration boards contain a CDMA radio), a DC-DC electrical converter, and various connecting interfaces.
  At the announcement, an ultra-mobile PC reference design was shown running Windows XP Embedded.
