reports Samsung may have picked VIA's Trinity platform for the upcoming Samsung NC20 netbook. The site reports the NC20 will feature the 1.3GHz Nano processor, and perhaps also a VIA chipset and S3 GPU. More info should follow next month at CES.
The NC20, pictured below, is thought to be the 12.1in successor to the NC10 and will join Dell's Inspiron Mini 12 as one of few larger-than-usual netbooks.
What's interesting is that Samsung is believed to be equipping the NC20 with VIA's low-power 1.3GHz Nano processor. Judging by the size of the system, and its 1.5kg weight, there might just be room for VIA's entire Trinity platform - that's a Nano processor, VIA chipset and S3 graphics GPU.
