including a new line of branded VIA Mainboards, as well as the company's Information PC,
Set Top Box, Web Pad and future Total Connectivity designs. VIA is headquartered in
Taipei, Taiwan. The company is listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE2388), and achieved
annual revenues of nearly US$1 billion in 2000.
VIA Product Portfolio
VIA is among the technology leaders in each of its core businesses: PC core logic
chipsets; x86 microprocessors; communications and networking chips and VIA Mainboards. Its
products are used by many of the world's top tier PC OEMs as well as Taiwan's leading ODM
manufacturers. A full introduction to the VIA Technologies, product portfolio can be found

VIA Global Operations & Management
VIA has created a global network linking the high-tech centers of Silicon Valley and Texas
with the Greater China Manufacturing Engine, including facilities in Taipei, Taiwan,
Fremont in California, Richardson, Austin, and Arlington in Texas, Hong Kong and Shenzhen
in China, Swindon in the UK and Cologne in Germany. This network allows the company to
leverage the infrastructure of the world's leading high-tech R&D and manufacturing
centers and also enables it to respond quickly and locally to the changing needs of its
customers, supporting them on a global basis.
The company employs over 2,000 people worldwide, approximately 70% of which are engineers.
The company's highly skilled and experienced engineering staff is complemented by a strong
multinational management team with an extensive technical background. This mixture of
engineering and managerial talent, supported by the company's global marketing and sales
teams, has laid the foundations for VIA's continued success in the core logic, processor,
and communications and networking chip markets.
Technical Design Services
VIA meets the ever-changing demands of the computing and communications markets by
anticipating and developing the most appropriate new technologies to satisfy customer
needs in terms of functionality, performance and cost-effectiveness. The company unites
its industry partners, including leading processor, memory and graphics companies, to
facilitate - rather than impose - the implementation of these new technologies onto the
market, thereby widening the choices available to both its customers and the individuals
and businesses that buy from them.
VIA's successful track record in technological leadership, including the implementation of
the PC133 SDRAM and DDR SDRAM memory standards, is a direct result of its focus on
state-of-the-art Research and Development. Utilizing their extensive experience in IC
design and the most advanced hardware and software tools, VIA's R&D staff develop core
logic, processor, and communications products that deliver the most advanced technologies
and performance at the most economical cost. Stringent ISO 9000 certified testing
procedures ensure the highest levels of product quality, reliability, and compatibility.
Close and constant interaction with its customers enables VIA to fully understand their
requirements and provide a complete spectrum of technology design services. VIA listens to
customer requests, carefully evaluates all the technological alternatives, and provides a
range of options for them to choose from. Product development schedules, technical data,
and software and driver upgrades are updated and shared on a constant basis via the
Internet, and a full range of post sales customer support services are delivered through
dedicated sales and FAE teams located in offices worldwide.
Fabless Manufacturing
As IC manufacturing processes become ever more complex and capital-intensive, VIA's close
partnerships with the world's leading silicon foundries and packaging and testing houses
are assuming increasingly vital importance. These partnerships not only allow for the most
up-to-date production and testing technologies while defraying the immense costs of
purchasing this equipment, but also ensure guaranteed production for VIA's products while
providing the flexibility its customers need to ramp up volumes to meet sudden changes in
market demand.
VIA's own Manufacturing Engineering and QC Teams work closely with its manufacturing and
assembly partners to ensure world class levels of product quality and reliability. All
chipsets, processors, and communications chips shipped by VIA undergo the most exact
testing procedures possible, and VIA's commitment to quality is demonstrated by its ISO
9001 certification as well as its meeting the rigorous supplier requirements of leading PC
OEM customers.
VIA's close connections with its foundry, assembly, and testing partners are the key to
the success of the company's unique fabless business model, enabling it to focus on
maximizing architectural partitioning, unit performance, volume/price ratios, product
quality and reliability, and volume production. This means that VIA delivers products of
the highest quality with the latest technology in the most cost-effective manner.
The motherboard contains the connectors for attaching additional boards. Typically, the
motherboard contains the CPU, BIOS, memory, mass storage interfaces, serial and parallel
ports, expansion slots, and all the controllers required to control standard peripheral
devices, such as the display screen, keyboard, and disk drive. Collectively, all these
chips that reside on the motherboard are known as the motherboard's chipset. On most PCs,
it is possible to add memory chips directly to the motherboard. You may also be able to
upgrade to a faster PC by replacing the CPU chip. To add additional core features, you may
need to replace the motherboard entirely. |
