Intel gives go ahead to VIA on DDR chipset for Pentium III! Intel Corporation and Via Technologies, Inc. today jointly announced that the companies have reached settlement of pending litigation related to a cross license between the two companies.... Via is licensed under Intel patents to produce P5 and P6 chipsets biz.yahoo.com Now go to VIA's home page: via.com.tw Here's headline number 1: VIA Declares Its Unequivocal Commitment to Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM (the bold is VIAs - go look for yourself) and VIA Technologies, Inc., today announced it has selected Double Data Rate (DDR266) SDRAM as the memory technology that will follow its successful PC133 for future PC chipsets. DDR266 supported VIA chipsets will be targeted across the PC Market at servers, desktop systems, Value PCs and mobiles. via.com.tw Given that it's contractually obligated to support Rambus, turning a big chunk of its chipset business over to VIA may be the only way Intel can stay competitive as DDR begins to dominates the high end. And Intel won't have had anything to do with the dumping of Rambus - it'll be VIA's "fault". Although Intel's replacement of the rambus 820 chipset with the PC133 815 chipset did put another nail in the coffin. You've always got the lawsuit - not much news on that front since the Hitachi deal turned out to be a 6 month smokescreen. Dan
