VIA PT800 [Review, Hexus]
VIA hopes to change all that with the PT800; its newest and most potent S478 chipset to date. We saw VIA update its AMD catalogue with the ever-improving KT600, featuring a whole host of new features, so it was only a matter of time before VIA updated the P4 range. The Canterwood and various Springdale boards have set a high performance and feature standard over the past few months, therefore VIA has its work cut out. Let's now see just how good VIA is at cutting.

VIA's PT800 and SiS's 648FX chipsets [Roundup, Tech-report]
We'd also like to satisfy our own sometimes-twisted curiosities. Could it be possible a second channel of 400MHz memory isn't necessary to get to most out of a processor with an 800MHz bus? Can VIA and SiS manage to make products that will stand out against the backdrop of Intel's impressive new chipsets? And, most importantly, can we make some really huge—I mean so huge, it's almost sick—graphs and tables about these new chipsets? Keep reading for the answers. Wed, 13 Aug, 2003 | 80 Click(s) | Detail
SiS 648FX chipset [Review, Digital Daily]

Can Third Parties Catch Intel's Chipsets? [Review, Hardwarecentral]
Intel used to take its time between introducing a new CPU and an updated desktop chipset for it, giving independents a window of opportunity to put their own silicon on market-leading motherboards. Today, it's the third parties who are playing catch-up -- leaving a chance, Vince thinks, for just one of three recent introductions from VIA, SiS, and ALi. Mon, 14 Jul, 2003 | 19 Click(s) | Detail
VIA PT800 Chipset – Single Channel taken to the Max [Review, TweakTown]
Over the past 18 months VIA Technology has been hindered by an on-going court case with Intel over Pentium 4 licensing rights.
