Via, AMD divvy up K7 chipset duties
Mark Hachman

Taiwanese chipset vendor Via Technologies Inc. has announced that it will develop and ship "value-oriented" single-processor chipsets for Advanced Micro Devices Inc.'s K7 MPU. But AMD will have to develop its own multiprocessor versions, said Dean Hays, director of marketing for Via's U.S. operations, in Fremont, Calif. Hays added that there is no reason the Super7 bus for low-end PCs couldn't be ratcheted up to 133 MHz-other than the fact that AMD's engineers have been too busy working on the K7 and K6-III to coordinate a specification.
