Isaiah and VIA's future keeps looking brighter and brighter.

Let's hope nvidia can break its tradition of hot, power-hungry chipsets. That's the last thing we'd want in an ultraportable device.

ultra portable is only one target of these new products- ultra cheap, tiny (think integrated into the monitor or keyboard), low (mains) power linux/reduced-XP boxes for use as homework/office PC's, or wireless home-network media serving/playback. Nvidia boasts playback of hidef video at 1080. This would allow the creation of a 100$ media playback box that could wirelessly connect your big LCD/projector to your home media server.

Essentailly, think of a PC that costs next to nothing, and is perfect for everything except modern 3d-games/video encoding. Nvidia/Via are missing only one trick...solder the damned ddr memory onto the card as well- these products need to treat memory same as the discrete graphics cards, and attach fixed amounts of memory at point of manufacture. Then they can sell 256mb/512mb variants, just as with graphics cards!

And, of course, when mains powered Intel loses ALL of its advantages, except profit margin, since Intel's theoretical CPU speed advantage, and actual power consumption advantage will count for nothing with this particular use. Intel threw down the gauntlet. Nvidia will slaughter Intel in its chosen field of battle, cos 8 of nvidia's graphics 'cores' will thrash any CPU core(s) intel will offer in this sector, when tested on the type of applications these products are designed for. I just hope Nvidia can help VIA raise its recent game, because VIA is most defintely the weak link here.
