Other Taiwanese OEMs are expected to show information appliances at Comdex. However, a larger trend among the group will be in mainstream PC products that, true to Taiwan's tradition, attempt to leverage alternatives to Intel's processors and chip sets. Advanced Micro Devices Inc.'s latest K7 chip ? the Athlon processor ? and new integrated chip sets from companies such as Via Technologies Inc. will play widely here. Most Taiwanese motherboard makers, big and small, will have Athlon boards on display at Comdex. "Currently, the K7 outperforms the best CPU that Intel Corp. can offer," said the R&D manager for a major Taiwanese motherboard maker. "If AMD can get the price down and the volumes up, it will be a big hit." Motherboard prices for Athlon-based boards will come down soon. "We are now able to go from a six-layer to a four-layer K7 mainboard," said a project manager at First International Computer Inc. Via Technologies also now has a core logic chip set that will support the K7, their KX133." eetimes.com Pravin
