CPU Wars

1
As was reported recently, Intel has filed a lawsuit against Via trying to keep them from marketing their motherboard chipset in the USA. Well it looks like the AMD folks are jumping in to the rescue of Via. Seeing as that the Via chipset is intended to work with AMD's technology it's beneficial that AMD helps them. Why should this matter to you? Well AMD + Via chipset = mucho fasto computero. Also there is mention that AMD will be pushing out their dual-cpu system around the 3rd quarter of this year.

AMD has stepped into the dispute and has made its own representations to the ITC, because its future roadmap will, in part, depend upon Via and other chipsets. As well as further extensive chipset support from Via, we understand that AMD will produce a dual Athlon during the course of this year...
