TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Taiwan's Via Technologies Inc. today announced a new version of its integrated chip set line for mobile systems, based on Advanced Micro Device Inc.'s microprocessors.
The new VIA ProSavageDDR KN266 chip set is optimized for AMD's Athlon 4 and Duron family of mobile processors. Supporting 266-MHz double-data-rate SDRAM products, the KN266 from Taipei-based Via is said to be 30% faster than the company's previous chip line, dubbed the VIA ProSavage KN133.
The KN266 also features S3 Graphics' ProSavage8 graphics technology, with AGP 8X equivalent bandwidth integrated into the North Bridge portion of the chip set.
This delivers video quality for key applications like DVD Playback, while eliminating the need for a discrete graphics card. The KN266 has a full set of networking and communication features, such as AC'97 audio and modem functions, ATA 33/66/100 and four or more USB ports.
Prices and delivery were not disclosed.
