Via to launch Pentium M pin-compatible CPU

Why is this significant? Well, CPUs intended for mobile use consume less power and so make less heat, making them perfect for the tight installations in small form-factor cases.

There have been rumors of similar setups from several mobo makers, but this is the first out that I know of. Expect more of the same. A LOT more. The performance of current mobile CPUs is such that in a small case they will provide all the necessary horsepower for the much anticipated media center PC or appliance without the big beige box in the living room.
