Robertson's take on Intel/Via settlement (edited)
Sources said now that Intel has settled its legal spat, the company might welcome Via and other chipset independents to tie their DDR-enabled products into Pentium III-based desktops. A bevy of DDR chipsets will hit the market this fall with support for Advanced Micro Devices Inc.'s Athlon desktop chip, and without a DDR-equipped chipset of its own, Intel might need Via and the other independents to compete in that segment.

It makes a lot of sense to me.
PIII probably contributes most of the profits to IABG. If VIA creates markets for PIII I think Intel will be very happy, especially considering they also will collect royalties from VIA. Intel has the i810/815/820 for desk-tops. Now they will have support for DDR?
