Tench, re:<Also, it's not clear to me why Via will want to continue making Athlon chipsets> From an interview with Richard Brown, Director of Marketing at VIA Technologies at tech-junkie.com Tj: VIA is intensely supporting AMD in the Ahtlon effort by developing the KX133. But VIA is also developing the Joshua processor. Wouldn't the support of Athlon hurt the success of Joshua? When Joshua is released, will VIA continue to support AMD by supplying chipsets? Richard Brown: VIA regards AMD as a very close strategic partner and we are 110% committed to supporting the Athlon processor with our chipsets - now and in the future. Athlon is a great processor which is positioned in the performance segment of the market while Joshua is firmly targeted at the Value segment, so there are no potential market conflicts. ----------------------- end of quote Still, I would like to see some technology sharing between VIA and AMD so this relationship could be solidified on a basis more lasting than hatred of Intel and Intel's legal department. EDIT, thanks for link from JC's jc-news.com Petz
