Zotac continues to invest in small, flexible and power efficient platforms-Their latest works are based on Intel's new Pine Trail platform consisting of a dual-core Atom CPU D510 and the new chipset Intel NM10 Express. Intel's new Pineview Atom-based CPU D510 has both GPU and memory controller integrated directly into the processor, which pulls down the power consumption further to the previous generation.

Zotac is now launching two models in its NM10 series where ZOTAC NM10-ITX WiFi uses mini-ITX format (170x170mm) and NM10-DTX ZOTAC WiFi is slightly larger mini-DTX format (230x170mm).

Motherboards, in addition to an integrated Atom D510 CPU also seat two DDR2 memory modules, 1st PCIe x16 space, WiFi, Gigabit Ethernet and a bunch of SATA connectors. The differences between them are a few millimeters in size and the DTX-card compartment more SATA ports and a PCIe x1 place.

Prices on the platforms are still unclear and had it not been for the GMA 3150 GPU limited resolution (1366x768 max), this had been a near-optimal HTPC platform.
