Posted on Tuesday, November 04 2008 @ 19:36 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck
Several months ago NVIDIA and VIA unveiled plans for a netbook platform but so far we've heard very little about it. DigiTimes wrote today that this platform has been suspended, but that the two are still cooperating on co-developed desktop PC products which will be shown off at CES 2009 in January:
Nvidia and VIA signed a cooperation agreement in April this year which would see VIA's C7 and Nano CPUs paired with MCP79 IGP chipsets from Nvidia, according to previous reports.

Although cooperation on the platform is suspended, VIA said the two are still continuing to cooperate and will showcase co-developed desktop PC products at CES 2009.
