"In response to the recent rumors, VIA replied only that it has been in contact with some international graphics chipmakers. In response to a recent rumor that it is planning to acquire the graphics chip division of STMicroelectronics (ST), chipset designer VIA Technologies on March 5 only confirmed that it has indeed been in contact with some international graphics chip companies, but refused to comment further on the progress of the plan, and more importantly, the identity of the candidates. VIA said that its graphics chip acquisition, S3, may have leading advantages in the notebook sector, but to strengthen its desktop graphics chip product lines it has started reaching out to some graphics chip designers for possible cooperation. The company further noted that acquisition is not necessarily the only way to obtain related technology. " aceshardware.com
