S3 en VIA plannen joint-venture

Zoals eerder duidelijk werd hebben S3 en VIA plannen met elkaar. Beide bedrijven hebben aangekondigd dat ze een team in het leven hebben geroepen dat de vorming van een joint-venture moeten leiden. Het uiteindelijk doel van de samenwerking is de ontwikkeling van geïntegreerde core-logic/video chipsets:

S3® Incorporated (Nasdaq:SIII - news) and VIA Technologies (TAIEX:2388) today announced that an executive management team has been formed to run the recently established S3-VIA, Inc. joint venture.

Led by Ken Potashner, Chairman; Wen-Chi Chen, Chief Executive Officer; and Rick Bergman, General Manager, the S3-VIA, Inc. management team is immediately focused on bringing a family of high-performance integrated graphics and core logic chip sets to market in early 2000.

Longer term, the team will work toward redefining next-generation PC architectures based on S3 and VIA's CPU, graphics and core logic engineering strengths and intellectual property rights.

``Today's announcement highlights the ongoing transition of S3-VIA, Inc. from a concept organization to a fully functioning company backed by two of the strongest components suppliers in the PC industry,'' said Wen-Chi Chen, Chief Executive Officer of S3-VIA, Inc. and President and Chief Executive Officer of VIA Technologies.

``With its first chip nearing production, several top-tier OEM customers already on board and a management team established, we expect S3-VIA, Inc. to establish itself as a leading components supplier for low-cost PCs -- the fastest growing segment of today's PC market -- by mid to late-2000,'' said Ken Potashner, Chairman of S3-VIA, Inc. and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for S3 Incorporated.
