ASUS working on AMD Fusion Mini-ITX motherboard

Bit Tech had a meeting with ASUS and learned that the company is working on a HTPC Mini-ITX motherboard with AMD's first low-power Fusion chip, the Ontario.
We previously reported on leaked data that the upcoming AMD APU's performance equates to roughly that of an Athlon II X2 250U, but with a DirectX 11 graphics chip built in and all in just ~18W TDP. When we asked Asus about performance, the team refused to provide any details on the subject.

If Ontario does provide a low-power CPU that offers decent performance and actual graphics horsepower, we'll finally have an Intel Atom and Nvidia Ion alternative in the mini-ITX market.
