Via Technologies has started shipping central processing units which work seamlessly with the next generation socket 479m infrastructure developed by Intel Corp. Industry insiders are stunned by this and cant figure out why they kept this partnership quiet. This new Via chip operates at 1.50GHz, has a 128KB level one cache (64KB data and 64KB instructions) along with a 128KB level two cache.Many people feel that this silence works in advantage of both the companies and Via may also try to capture the notebook segment as their chips are known for consuming very little power. Via had also announced some time ago about how they have a license to produce chipsets designed especially for Intel’s processors, including the 479m infrastructure. However some websites claim that the company is allowed only to produce chipsets dedicated to a part of Intel’s mobile sockets like for example Celeron M or Pentium M processors.
