VIA Technologies officially introduced its VIA PT800 core-logic for Intel Pentium 4 and Celeron processors. It is a bit ridiculous, but loads of mainboard makers have already adopted the chipset and soon mainboard products will even appear on the market.
I remind you that VIA PT800 North Bridge supports Intel Socket 478 processors with 400, 533 or 800MHz Quad Pumped Bus and the Hyper-Threading technology. It also implements FastStream 64-but memory controller for up to 8GB of PC2100, PC2700, and PC3200 memory with ECC. Following the latest trends, it provides AGP 8x slot.
VIA PT800 is to be paired with VIA VT8237 I/O controller supporting up to 6 PCI slots, 8 USB 2.0 ports, integrates 2-channel ATA-33/66/100/133 controller, features 4 Serial ATA-150 ports with RAID support, 6-channel audio-solution, MC97 Modem and other important input/output means.
VIA PT800 rivals are SiS648FX, i845PE and i848P. Well, and also ALi/ULi M1683...
