VIA launches Pentium 4 and Athlon 64 PCI Express chipsets

VIA has started shipments of its PCI Express-enabled integrated chipsets for the Intel Pentium 4 and AMD Athlon 64 platforms, albeit in small volumes.

The sources noted that though demand for VIA’s integrated chipset, the P4M890, had been strong in October-November, ATI Technologies has recently been the major beneficiary of a tight supply of Intel’s entry-level chipsets, including the 910GL and 915GL/GV lineups.

In the second quarter of next year the company will launch the VIA P4M900 chipset for the Pentium 4, this will be a chipset with the Delta Chrome GPU. More info at DigiTimes.
