VIA launch new chip for AMD XP Platform


Monday, April 14, 2003 VIA Technologies announced the launch of the VIA UniChrome KM400 Chipset, a 4th-generation integrated graphics chipset for the AMD Athlon XP Platform.

Featuring the new S3 Graphics UniChrome 2D/3D engine with MPEG-2 acceleration and DuoView extended desktop support, the KM400 is designed to enable a variety of system configurations based on a single mainboard platform.

The VIA UniChrome KM400 offers flexible DDR266/333/400 memory support, flexible 200/266/333MHz FSB support, and an external AGP 8X port allowing system designers to disable the integrated UniChrome graphics and employ a discrete graphics solution for gaming and CAD systems.

"The UniChrome KM400 is a flexible and scalable chipset that will create value for our OEM customers and enable the AMD Athlon XP platform to make further inroads into the mainstream corporate and consumer segments," claimed Richard Brown, associate VP of Marketing, VIA Technologies.

The VIA UniChrome KM400 chipset features the S3 Graphics integrated UniChrome 2D/3D graphics core with DuoView technology for multimedia performance and complete flexibility on the desktop.

The chipset North Bridge exchanges data with the CPU through an ultra-fast 333MHz FSB and features an AGP 8X controller for graphics upgrades. The KM400 also supports a complete range of DDR memory speeds, including DDR200/266/333, enabling OEMs and system integrators the opportunity to attack different price points based on the same mainboard platform.
