Computex 2005: VIA fuses C3 and CN400 to give birth to Luke

In an effort to reduce the number of ASICs and chips you need with an EPIA system, allowing VIA to reduce the space needed and the cost to produce, they've basically put the CN400 northbridge and C3 processor, found on something like an EPIA SP, onto the same package, creating one chip to rule them all. The Luke processor provides everything the C3 and CN400 combo does, including MPEG-4 video decoding and the memory controller for connecting DDR memory. VIA are currently showing it off in a pair of nanoITX designs with the EPIA N and EPIA NL product names.
