I want to comment.

"The dollar (via) is looking strong."
As more news comes out, i get the feeling that nvidia knows something about Isaiah that we dont.

Hi,

there are 2 errors in the article:

a) VIA dessoved his chipset division, there is no new development of VIA chipsets.

b) VIA has officially its own bus, that is correct, however, it is based on Intels P4 quad-pumped PSB, therefore I assume that it is quite easy for nvidia to develop a chipset for it. Actually I guess that the current nv-intel chipsets would run. In any case, definitly no "considerable redesign"

cheers

Alex

go competition... if the chipsets are really tht good then i would consider buying a VIA processor...

Too bad they are just single-core,but it should still beat the hell
out of the anemic C7's[like Everex used in their gPC's].Maybe Isaiah
will become"the little chip that could".

Hi, just to mention that VIA processors use Pentium 3 and Pentium 4 FSB... So nVidia will NOT have to considerably redesign existing core-logic sets to make them work with Via CPUs...
Perhaps you missed a page or two in CPU history?

Low cost means low profit margins, so Nvidia is either desperate or believes Isaiah will bi big or is trying to push VIA out of the market of chipsets for it's own CPUs so they can take them over more easily.

I find the first possibility improbable, and the second or the combination of second or third much more likely to be true.

Intel and AMD don't need Nividia. They could cut them off and increase there own market shares. Nividia is simply getting ready just in case they do. There is alot of money to be got by doing this, don't be surprised if they already are doing something that Nividia knows about.
