Giada has just released a mini-ITX motherboard running Intel’s HM65 chipset, the mobile chipset supporting Sandy Bridge Mobile processors. The board will taker Celeron to Core i7 BGA 1023 Sandy Bridge Mobile processors and support up to 4GB of SODIMM memory. The board measures in at just 25mm high on the mini-ITX form factor making it ideal for meeting strict space requirements. Connectivity is “last generation” being only USB 2.0 and SATA II (the native options supported by HM65) as there isn’t any room on the board for third party controller chips.
