According to DigiTimes, VIA has announced a new form factor known as the Em-ITX meant for ultra-slim embedded devices. It can double the amount of I/O space and yet 30% smaller than the current Mini-ITX. At 12×17cm, the Em-ITX form factor includes unique dual I/O coastlines and an exclusive Em-IO expansion bus to bring flexibility and scalability.

Products based on the Em-ITX form factor will be available early next month.
