'''VIA EPIA''' (''[[VIA Technologies|VIA]] Embedded Platform Innovative Architecture'') is a series of [[mini-ITX]], em-ITX, [[nano-ITX]], [[pico-ITX]] and [[pico-ITXe]] [[motherboard]]s with integrated VIA [[Microprocessor|processor]]s. They are small and consume less power than computers of comparable capabilities.
