Looks like VIA is getting ready to release a Pentium4 chipset, without official Intel permission to do so. While several other chipmakers such as Ali, Acer and SiS received an official license, VIA is yet to receive one and it's doubtful they ever will because Intel is annoyed with it's competition. VIA has been one of the major AMD chipset suppliers. However, VIA plans to introduce their PX266 chipset for the P4 anyway since they acquired some patents from S3 which they say should cover this. Intel probably won't be amused.
