Recent developments of VIA Technologies, a global professional IC design company [Copy link]

We have obtained the recent developments of VIA, a global professional IC design company. Readers who follow VIA should not miss it. The following text is a first-person account from a VIA person: 1. Chipset: Intel platform We are also continuously updating the Intel platform. On July 27, Intel finally unveiled the most powerful desktop processor "Conroe". Its powerful performance has left a deep impression on everyone. Of course, in addition to performance, its expensive price also makes most consumers stay away. The Intel motherboard that matches it is also positioned in the middle and high-end, and the overall matching cost cannot be kept high. Now you don't have to quench your thirst with a plum. For the "braised pork" configuration with too high overall cost, VIA's PT890 can control the cost well and will not hinder the performance of Conroe at all. PT890 not only supports the latest Conroe processor, but also perfectly supports the full range of Intel Pentium processors. With the diving price of Pentium processors, PT890 has also become a good choice for building a cost-effective Intel platform. PT890 supports 1066MHz front-end bus, so it can tap the full potential of Core processors; in addition, the PT890 chipset has built-in VIA's original StepUp storage technology, which can provide support for DDR and DDR2 memory, providing users with higher flexibility in platform construction or upgrades. Of course, the PCI Express x16 independent graphics card slot and two PCI Express x1 slots provide high-bandwidth device expansion. In addition, with the VIA South Bridge series, a full set of storage, multimedia and various connection functions can be provided, including native Serial ATA and V-RAID interfaces, VIA 6-channel or 8-channel Vinyl sound chips, VIA Velocity? Gigabit LAN, USB2.0 interface and 1394 interface, etc. Currently, the MSI PT890 Neo-V and Pan Ying 6P9T products on the market already support Conroe processors, which are the most cost-effective Conroe platform solutions. In terms of integrated motherboards, we are also ready for the new generation of Conroe. Manufacturers such as ASUS, Elite. Panzheng, Biostar, Colorful, Onda, Soltek and Mejie have followed up with P4M890 motherboard products to create the most cost-effective integrated platform solution for Conroe. In addition to perfect support for the new generation of processors, the good compatibility of our products supports Intel's full range of processors, providing users with the best cost-effective third-party options. VIA has developed very well on the INTEL platform. In addition to the past P4M800, P4M800Pro, and the PT890 and P4M890 currently being promoted on the market, VIA will also launch P4M900 and PT900 in the near future, starting to fully support Vista. The current PT890, PT900 and P4M900 will provide users with more and better Vista products on the INTEL platform. In addition to the perfect support for the new generation of Conroe, VIA has also provided more support for DDRI and DDRII memory to meet the changing market demands. I believe that with the decline in the prices of Intel and AMD processors, the cost-effectiveness and good compatibility advantages of VIA products will become more obvious. I believe that the media's detailed introductions and enthusiastic shopping guides will provide consumers with more professional guidance. AMD platform 1. Although AMD has acquired ATI, its open platform policy has not changed, and will not affect the long-term strategic cooperation between VIA and AMD. At present, VIA still mainly uses two chipsets, the independent K8T890 and the integrated K8M890, on the AMD AM2 platform, and will follow up with products such as K8T900. VIA's products have always been recognized by the majority of users for their excellent cost-effectiveness, good compatibility and stability. We hope that media friends can increase product exposure through market introductions, product shopping guides and reviews, and bring the best choices to users who pursue cost-effective products. Listed product price ? K8T890 chipset ASUS M2V (￥799) MSI K9V Neo-V (￥599) Soltek SL-KT890M2-RL (￥599) Onda K8T890T Chitu Edition (￥499) Colorful C.KT9-AM2 Ver1.4 (￥499) ASRock AM2V890-VSTA (￥495) 2. We have detailed the relevant chipsets and product specifications of our AM2 platform in the online "VIA AM2, the Most Cost-Effective Platform" section. We hope that through media publicity, more users will visit the section to learn about our products and make the right choice. 2. S3 Graphics Currently, S3 Graphics' Chrome S25 graphics cards are available in two models: ASL Chrome S25 and Xintianxia G7400S. Both have launched the "S25 for a Beautiful Summer" promotion. For only ￥499 yuan, you can buy ASL and Xintianxia Xiaoyingba Chrome S25 graphics cards, and you can get a Logitech Coolx camera worth ￥150 yuan as a gift. It is currently the most cost-effective graphics card in the 499 price range on the market. ATI has been swallowed up by AMD, and it is questionable whether the two-person show in the graphics card market can continue. This gives S3 an opportunity to grow. We hope that all media can report on our S25 products and promotional activities to bring fresh information to consumers. 3. C7-M processor At present, Tsinghua Tongfang still uses our C7-M processor, and has the Chaorui V30 notebook and Chaorui C520 notebook, with prices ranging from 3999 to 5999. Chaorui C520 is positioned as an entry-level desktop replacement machine, suitable for students, entry-level home users and commercial offices of small and medium-sized enterprises. Chaorui C520 still maintains the characteristics of V30, and has outstanding advantages in battery life and safety compared with products of the same price. During the summer promotion, we also launched a promotional activity for C520 "Buy C520, get a folding small table", users only need ￥3999 to buy a C520 notebook and a folding small table, which is quite affordable. The introduction and activities of Chaorui C520 still need your strong support. I believe that more and more users will understand and buy C520 laptops.
