The proposed several years ago by VIA form factor Mini-ITX (17 x 17 cm) was gradually adopted by motherboards and processors producers . VIA itself has since made significant progress in the miniaturization , creating a form-factors Nano-ITX (12 x 12 cm), Pico-ITX (10 x 10 cm) and the Mobile-ITX (6 x 6 cm).
Intel is one of the core activities demonstrated the computer Next Unit Computing (NUC), which uses a motherboard dimensions 10 x 10 cm, and Core i7 or Core i5 Sandy Bridge.
