VIA heeft zijn verontschuldigingen aangeboden voor de naamgeving van de KZ133 chipset, die nogal gevoelig lag in Duitsland en omringende landen. De initialen 'KZ' werden in de Tweede Wereldoorlog door de Nazi's gebruikt als aanduiding voor concentratiekampen (Konzentrationslager). Zoals je donderdag reeds hebt kunnen lezen heeft VIA de naam van zijn Socket A Athlon chipset veranderd in 'KT133':
Taiwan's VIA Technologies said today it is renaming its forthcoming Apollo KZ133 chipset because of concerns over the initials KZ, which were the German initials used to identify concentration camps during the Holocaust.[...] "We have decided to rename our Socket A chipset the VIA Apollo KT133 in response to concerns raised by customers in Germany and other European markets," said VIA marketing director Richard Brown. "We would like to express our sincere apologies for any offence that we may have caused through the use of the term 'KZ' and thank everyone who provided us with their feedback and comments."
