VIA KT400 takes over the market?
Just after the fanfares of new AMD FSB 333 MHz processors analysts forecast bright future to VIA in the AMD chipset market, speaking about KT400 timely volume shipments.
However, VIA itself reports that KT400 shipments will depend on releases of system boards on this chipset and KT333 stock sales. Though, many makers prefer to develop KT400 boards instead of upgrading KT333 BIOS to support new processor FSB.
VIA now has a nice chance to lead, while SiS and Nvidia lag behind with SiS746 and nForce 2 that won´t, most likely, appear before September. Perhaps, Nvidia will take its chance to win back due to agressive price policy — nForce 2 is expected to cost about $20-25 like KT400.
