Goutama:, already the mobo makers are clustering to AMD's open standard. Sounds like a rerun of microchannel....heh..heh..heh. As I say, there is a law of unintended consequences, as Intel is finding out. Bill

Goutama, <<k>Breaking News on VIA-S3 KH Yeap</k> Tuesday, November 02, 1999 (04:17 PM Pacific Standard Time)> Thanks for posting. KH Yeap has broken more stories than anyone else in the AMD domain and the guy seems to be right most of the time. <Also mentioned in the report is VIA's reiteration of close cooperation with AMD. VIA's President Chen is quoted as saying that VIA aims to grab 90% of the K7chipset market in 2000. Chen added that according to AMD's roadmap, there will be 20 million K7 shipped in year 2000, and VIA expects to ship 18 million K7 chipsets. The rest of the 2million chipsets will be made up by chipsets fromAMD (Irongate), ALI and SiS.> This should mean a rather aggressive ramp in Q1. <"reportedly will go into volume production soon and will start shipping to motherboard makers by Q1 2000." - does this mean KX133 will be shipped in Q4'99?> Last bunch of rumors put the KX133 in Q1. Q4 is probably out at least in terms of volume. Chuck P.S.: If this gets discussed in the analyst conf call, that could raise quite a stir though I expect people to be focussing mostly on Q4/Q1.
