Embedded computer cuts power consumption
The system temperature is regulated by its own integrated extruded aluminium housing, which passively dissipates heat away from hotspots such as the CPU and main chipset.
Avalue Technology has released the ASM-CX700 fanless embedded system with a maximum chipset power consumption of only 1W in a slim package measuring just 25mm high ASM-CX700 can dramatically reduce power consumption

The ECM-3610 is an ultrasmall 3.5in-HDD-size SBC with a Via Eden ESP6000 low-power processor, LCD and LVDS interfaces, AGP 4X 3D graphics, AC97 audio and dual 10/100Base-Tx Ethernet interfaces.
It has been designed for use in digital signage applications, featuring a fully VESA-compliant mounting to enable easy integration with displays.
It supports MPEG2/4 with a DVI interface and offers 7.1 channel audio, an integrated LVDS/DVI transmitter, TV-out and optional Dual View which is complemented by I/O including dual Gigabit LAN.
"The VIA Eden ULV was the logical choice for our remarkable new slim book size PC" Sam Wang, Vice-President of Avalue Technology, said.
"With VIA having brought to market an x86-based processor that does not have a prohibitively high power consumption compared to other offerings, the benefits in terms of versatility, compatible software and hardware and performance could not be overlooked".
"Combined with our knowledge, reputation and expertise in embedded design this has enabled us to deliver a new and product to the market".
The ASM-CX700 measures 182 x 257 x 25mm.
The compact embedded system is powered by a single +12V DC supply and is completely fanless, improving reliability.
Instead of a fan, the system temperature is regulated by its own integrated extruded aluminium housing, which passively dissipates heat away from hotspots such as the CPU and main chipset.
Furthermore, VIA's CoolStream architecture minimises power consumption whilst optimising performance.
Operational power is then further reduced by the PowerSaver technology; this allows the processor to dynamically adjust both frequency and voltage based on users' requirements.
