VIA Technologies Company Description
VIA has found viable businesses both inside and outside the PC. VIA Technologies has taken on Intel for market leadership in PC chipsets -- clusters of components that connect a computer's microprocessor to its other parts. VIA's chipsets work with microprocessors made by both Intel and AMD and can be configured to work with various types of memory chips. Meanwhile, VIA's graphics chip venture has taken it into the market for core logic chipsets used in graphics applications. The fabless semiconductor company has also entered the networking chip niche with its introduction of Ethernet controllers and other devices, and it continues to develop low-budget microprocessors for use in inexpensive PCs.
