<font color=blue>Two Hammer Chipsets from VIA Posted 5/16/02 at 10:30 am by Rat In an interview to prohardver! Web-site, VIA Marketing Director, Richard Brown, said a couple of really interesting things about VIA’s new chipsets Here is a quote: The next chipset we are planning for Intel Pentium 4 platform is P4X600, targeted at the workstation and entry level server segments. If features dual channel memory support and will also support 64-bit PCI through our forthcoming VPX-2 companion chip. On the integrated side, we are developing P4M333 chipset, which would enable DDR333, AGP 8X and a faster V-Link 8X support; and most importantly it would integrate a new graphics core - Zoetrope. We are also working on both integrated and discreet solutions for upcoming AMD Hammer processor, but unfortunately cannot talk very much about those at the moment. This way VIA officially confirmed that they will support 8th generation AMD processors by introducing chipset for them. And if we have already told you about the discrete chipset aka K8HTB, then the details on the VIA integrated solution for Hammer are completely new. K8HTB will support AGP 8x and V-Link 8x, so it will be compatible with South Bridges supporting USB 2.0 and SerialATA. As for the integrated chipset, there are still a lot of unanswered questions about it. First, we have no idea what graphics core will be implemented in it, and second, this chipset will have to feature its own memory controller for the integrated graphics. xbitlabs.com
