Computex 08: Thursday for a new Platform​


Nvidia and VIA are going to announce on Thursday that from now on they will be in bed together, with a mighty goal to survive against Intel.

This marriage of convenience will be announced on Thursday and Via will tell the world that Nvidia prepares a small board based on Nforce like chipset for its Nano CPU.​
This new platform should directly go after Atom, and it will be X86 compatible, which means it will be able to compete against Atom, hand by hand.Nvidia's new platform will play HD content way better than Intel but just like Intel it is doomed to suck in gaming, but to be fair to Nvidia, it will get a bit faster than rather rusty old 945GC.


Let's just hope that Via's nano CPU is as good as people expect it to be. Oh, we almost forgot to say that Via should be written ALL CAPS and Nvidia should actually be nVIDIA.
