威盛电子正式宣布该公司成为全球首家获得英特尔公司授权Slot1芯片技术的芯片组厂商。由于现阶段市场正由Socket 7逐步向Slot1架构延伸,在英特尔正式宣布弃守Socket 7并积极投入Slot1标准后,市场的竞争状态起了根本性的变化,因为Slot1架构标准是英特尔独家专属的,对于市场的其他竞争者而言完全无法介入,所以在产品区隔与市场定位的考虑之下一度曾造成产业对于电脑平台的发展采取观望、等待的态度,而不是积极跟上。但是在此次授权案谈妥之后,可望正式打破此一僵局,让相容芯片组供应商在Slot1市场上。在由威盛电子与英特尔共同签署的声明中指出,英特尔正式将其在Slot1芯片组的所有相关专利与技术授权给威盛电子,其中包括P6 BUS微架构技术。声明中同时指出,目前威盛电子所生产的支持Slot1的Apollo系列芯片组,将在此和约的签署下,完全合法的进行生产与销售。确认威盛电子获得授权之后,相信对于诸多主机
VIA Technologies Inc. announced that it has become the first chipset vendor in the world to license Slot 1 chip technology from Intel Corporation. As the market is gradually extending from Socket 7 to Slot1 architecture at this stage, the competitive state of the market has undergone fundamental changes since Intel formally announced the abandonment of Socket 7 and the Slot 1 standard. Since the Slot 1 architecture standard is exclusive to Intel, For other competitors in the market is completely unable to intervene, so in the product differentiation and market positioning considerations once caused the industry for the development of computer platforms to wait and see, rather than actively keep up. However, after the authorization is settled, it is hoped that the stalemate will be formally broken to allow compatible chipset vendors in the Slot1 market. In a statement signed by VIA Technologies and Intel, Intel states that it has formally licensed all its patents and technologies in the Slot1 chipset to VIA Technologies, including the P6 BUS microarchitecture. The statement also pointed out that at present VIA produced support Slot1 Apollo series chipset, will be signed in this peace treaty, completely legal production and sales. After confirming the VIA authorized, I believe for many hosts
