Ultra-compact PC targets digital signage

“Habey USA announced an ultra-compact PC with a choice of Intel
Atom processors. The BIS-6620 has a 4.7 x 4.7-inch footprint, runs
at 1.1 or 1.6GHz, comes with CompactFlash and SD expansion slots,
and uses just nine Watts, the company says.

“Habey’s little BIS-6620 has a heatsink and case design strongly
resembling Icop’s similarly tiny eBox PCs (variously based on CPUs
from Via and DMP Electronics), but we’re unaware of any actual
relationship between the products. According to Habey, the PC has a
footprint of just 4.7 x 4.7 inches, targets digital signage and
media playback applications, and comes with Intel’s original Z5xx
Atoms — either the 1.1GHz Z510 or the 1.6GHz Z530.

“The BIS-6620 (above) is touted as providing “full hardware
acceleration of H.264, MPEG2, MPEG4, VC1, and WMV up to 1080p.”
While perhaps literally correct, this claim could mislead some into
believing the device has a discrete graphics processor. In fact,
Habey lists only the usual SCH US15W northbridge/southbridge, with
integrated GMA500 graphics.”
