VIA CPUs to stage comeback in low-cost PC market

jmke · 21st April 2008, 15:26

With limitations imposed by Intel on the features hardware vendors can offer from Atom-based platforms, (which include limited single-channel memory support and a restriction on form factors below Mini-ATX) VIA's solutions give PC makers more flexibility.

In other news, although Nvidia will start to provide chipset solutions for VIA CPUs, VIA will continue its own chipset development, to industry sources. VIA's chipsets consume much less power making them more suitable for UMPC products, while Nvidia's chipsets are better for netbook and nettop products, which require better graphics performance, the sources commented.
