Viiv won't bother Taiwanese chipset makers

Intel's Viiv platform PC systems will cost in the region of $1000 - $1500, reports Digi Times. This means that Taiwanese chipset makers are, for now at least, not that worried about Viiv taking away market share.

Although chipset makers including Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) and VIA Technologies were expected to come under threat from Intel’s “platformization” strategy, market analysts suggest that because Intel is focusing on the higher end of the market with its digital home platform, the negative effects on Taiwan chipset makers, which mainly focus on the entry-level segment, should be limited.
