Described as a number of integrated circuits designed to perform one or more related functions. For instance, one chipset may provide the basic functions of a modem while another provides the CPU functions for a computer.
Latest chipsets generally include functions provided by two or more older chipsets and in some cases, older chipsets that required two or more physical chips could be replaced with a chipset on one chip, whereas this term is often used to refer to the core functionality of a motherboard.
VIA Technologies, through Mr. Richard Brown informed that the firm’s Dual PCI chipset is an express buses, which enable system builders to offer high-performance desktops that support two displays.
He said that K8T;900, has been on sampling since late November, and would be made available for market volume by January 2006.
This, he said, supports two x8 PCI Express graphics connections.
Mr. Brown also noted that through the systems of dual graphics support more than one monitor and have been available for years now, VIA’s dual PCI express optimizes new technology for better performance for today’s robust video requirements.
He explained that older systems with dual displays must squeeze graphics instructions for two displays through one bus and limiting throughput.
“The new technology, however, opens up two graphics buses that could support either multiple video streams or more robust graphics for high-end games,” he said.
Mr. Brown further disclosed that VIA is currently working with S3 Graphics to ensure the graphics chip manufacturer’s new chrome graphics cards will work with its new chipset.
