Ultimate HD platform claim acknowledged

The new VB8003 Mini-ITX board based on the Trinity platform is getting a lot of good press. Here are a few snippets:

"When you start calling your new product the “ultimate Mini-ITX HD multimedia platform” you better have some meat to back it up, but we’ve a feeling VIA’s new mainboard will be able to deliver." - Slashgear

"Remember when the PlayStation 3 was going to have dual-HDMI ports so that games could pump 1080p video to two displays simultaneously? Ahh, those were good 'ol days. That configuration obviously didn't come to pass, but VIA's looking to deliver dual-HDMI and more in its next integrated Mini-ITX solution, the VB8003, which also packs DVI and VGA ports, as well as an LVDS output, meaning it could control five displays at once (though with only four discrete signals)." - Engadget

"VIA has now expanded its low-power platform to include the fresh and really funky VB8003 aka the first Mini-ITX motherboard to come equipped with a GPU. Yes, you read it right, the board actually features a dedicated GPU, namely the S3 Graphics 435 ULP which supports DirectX 10.1, OpenGL 2.1, and boast the ChromotionHD engine, for smooth 1080p playback." - TCMagazine
