Giada showed off a new nettop at CeBIT 2010 this week called the Giada Cube N7DT. It comes with a dual core Intel Atom D510 Pine Trail processor and next-generation ION graphics. Best of all, perhaps, is that the Giada Cube-N7DT has a built in TV tuner and DVD drive, making it a a promising little media center nettop since the Nvidia Ion Graphics and dual core Pine Trai processor should give the nettop enough horsepower to decode Blu-Ray discs although for now you’ll need a USB Blu-Ray drive if you want to go that route.
The nettop supports up to 2GB of DDRE3 memory, and takes a 2.5″ hard drive. It has HDMI, DVI, and SPDIF outputs, as well as support for 802.11b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth.
No word on whether we’ll see this Giada nettop in the states anytime soon.

The Samsung MU100 is powered by a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 CP and integrated GMA 3150 graphics.
