Yo_Synapsid.................................Looks like S3 may have additional problems from Intel and other core logic (chip set) manufacturers.......

Another strategy pursued by Intel, by some graphics-chip companies and by chip-set suppliers looks to combine the graphics engine with the north bridge while continuing to use a standalone processor. Still others - such as National Semiconductor Corp. and STMicroelectronics (formerly SGS-Thomson Microelectronics) - plan to incorporate graphics, core logic and the processor in one device. Kaplan confirmed that IBM has been talking with STM about manufacturing the ST PC, which combines I/O and graphics with a 486 core. "It's looking to be very feasible," she said. "We are asking ourselves if it's the right time to put our stake in the ground."

Intel has told Taiwan's mainboard makers that it will launch its Whitney chip set in the second quarter of 1999 integrating the i740 graphics engine on the Pentium II north bridge core-logic chip. At least one of Taiwan's core-logic design houses has a similar idea. "We have plans [for] a new product that will incorporate a graphics engine inside the core logic," said Sylvia Lin, marketing manager for Silicon Integrated Systems Corp.
