VIA Focuses on Own CPUs

I think Via can do extremely well if they would just license the Chipset and Socket out to the Likes of DFI, MSI etc aka a full ATX motherboard with a Single or Dual PCI express 2 16x slot that supports Crossfire, and possibly Dual CPUs- it seems their CPU line is more efficient than intel or AMDs (Hey just about all boards do- plus easier to implement than SLI). Course they should work on another Chipset for Intel and AMD.

VIA Technologies, a firm which is probably best known for producing chipsets for AMD and Intel motherboards, has merged its CPU and chipset divisions to allow it to focus on supporting its own brand CPUs. This is according to the Chinese Apply Daily, which says the company plans to slowly phase-out development of chipsets for third-party products, although it will continue to support both its AMD chipsets and any older Intel chipsets not affected by patent issues. The firm has not yet completely given up on negotiations with Intel to acquire a patent contract, but it certainly seems to have its sights set on bigger things with its CPUs.
