The Register meldt in dit bericht dat VIA eind deze maand zal starten met het massaproduceren van de KZ133 chipset. Volgens geruchten komen de grote OEM's pas later in juni met Duron en Thundebird systemen. De retail markt zou daarna pas aan de beurt komen. Hieronder een gedeelte uit het artikel:
The KZ133 chipset from Via, a Socket A solution which supports AMD's up-and-coming Thunderbird microprocessor are expected to go into mass production at the end of this month, insiders in Taiwan told The Register today.
But boards using the KZ133 chipset, which has been sampling for three and a half weeks, are likely to head the way of large and loyal AMD and Via customers before they enter the retail market, other sources indicated.
[...] However, if mass production happens at the end of this month, that means that realistically it will be later on in June before systems - probably from the likes of IBM and Gateway - arrive on end users' desktops.
