Via Technologies to launch chip for portable devices

Via Technologies has announced that they are coming out with a chip which they claim will help reduce the size of ultra mobile PCs by as much as 40 percent.

This new chip has been designed to work with the company’s own Via C7-M microprocessors targeted at the mobile products market.

The company managed to slim down the size of the chip by integrating the north and south bridges of the set into a single package measuring 35 by 35 mm.

They aim to make available this new product in the market in huge numbers by the third quarter of the current year.

Via added that this chip has been designed to reduce power consumption and save battery life in ultra mobile PCs.
