arcticstoat writes "Following the media hit that was VIA's Nano
processor, VIA says that it's now quitting the motherboard chipset
business that used to be its bread and butter product for years. VIA's
vice president of corporate marketing in Taiwan, Richard Brown,
explained that: 'Intel provides the vast majority of chipsets for its
processors and, following its purchase of ATI, AMD is also moving very
quickly in the same direction.' VIA will still be developing chipsets
for integrated motherboards featuring the Nano CPU, but will no longer
produce chipsets for Intel and AMD CPUs. Was this the right decision,
and where does this leave other third-party chipset manufacturers such
as SiS?" Seems like this is a tough business to stick around in.
