Milo, Mike Magee's roadmap seems to disagree with other recent reports. According to Anand's interview with VIA, there are no Athlon MP chipsets are on the roadmap, but VIA is working on something for Hammer.

3) On the topic of SMP Athlon systems, does VIA plan on entering the MP Athlon market at all? What about plans to work with AMD's Hammer line of processors? I realize that you cannot comment on unannounced products but are 2, 4 and 8-way MP systems on VIA's chipset roadmap? If so, will you be a launch partner for AMD's Hammer line or do you plan on releasing a chipset after the launch much like the KX133's release?

We think that the current Athlon MP market is being very well served by AMD, so we don't see that it's in the interests of either ourselves or AMD to enter it. We greatly value our close relationship with AMD, and are working with them on developing solutions for the Hammer line. Unfortunately I can't say any more than that at the moment.
