Apex plans to release a new PC-based game console, using VIA components, later this year. The new "ApeXtreme Personal Gaming Console and DVD Player", or PGC will be officially announced during CES on January 8th.

According to early rumours, the console is running a 1.4Ghz VIA chipset, the CN400, and is powered by a near-instant-on version of WinXP (embedded) with Windows Media Player. CD/DVD support is included as well as video /audio play, and a hard disk. More information are expected soon.
