THE MOST RECENT VIA roadmaps seen by the INQUIRER have some interesting updates on its future chipset technology.
Via is set to introduce the VT6122, a Gigabit single 32-bit PCI ship.
Here's some highlights of what else it is up to.
AMD Chipsets
The KT880 mentioned in the headline is due to be released late this quarter. It will support the Athlon XP, 400MHz system buses, dual 64-bit channels and DDR 266, 333, and 400 ECC memory types.
The K8T890 is an Opteron and Athlon 64 chipset slated for the first quarter of next year, supporting PCI-Express.
The VT8239 south bridge chip will support eight hard drives, two IDE for four ATA 133 hard disks, and Serial ATA ports for up to four hard drives, as well as RAID 0, 1, 0+1 and JBOD.
Intel Chipsets
Earlier this week, Via showed off its PT880 Pentium 4 motherboard at the Intel Developer Forum, but there's a successor to that on the way which is expected to go into mass production early next year. The PT890 will support DDR-2 at speeds of 400/533/666, PCI Express, and support dual 64-bit channels and the 800MHz and below system buses. It will also be backward compatible with DDR-1.
There's also an "Unichrome 3.0" GFX version of this chipset dubbed the PM890, which will support DirectX 9.
The CM400 is a Pentium III chiupset which will include Unichrome 2, AGP 8X, integrated video, and 128-bit 2D and 3D graphics.
