VIA's PT800 and SiS's 648FX Chipsets

The Tech Report have thrown up their VIA's PT800 and SiS's 648FX Chipsets Review! which asks the question can these single-channel chipsets solution from Via and SIS compete with Intel's 800MHz dual-channel chipsets? Here's a snip.

The most striking thing about our benchmark results is, undoubtedly, the eye-opening performance of the VIA PT800 chipset. Even in places where we expected a single-channel solution to lag?3D gaming, speech recognition, video encoding?the PT800 excels. The PT800 is generally faster than Intel's 865PE chipset, and it gives the 875P a run for its (copious amounts of) money. No, the PT800 isn't the world-beater that the 875P is, but VIA is expected to deliver a dual-channel chipset before long to contend for that title.



The PT800 is meant to do battle in the broad mainstream of the market, and VIA has the 865PE's number. Single-channel motherboards are generally cheaper and easier to design and manufacture, so I'd expect to see very affordable PT800-based boards that mop the floor with stock 865PE boards.

I don't believe a performance achievable with only one memory stick - according to the roundup this VIa reference board gets instable with two sticks

seems that VIA is out of buiss ..... even month later they cannot beat the actual chipset .... if intel or AMD ..... I just wait for the next NF (AMD) release ... what then ???

I am finished with VIA I was really disappointed about the KT333 and now ..... I could only remember the good old KT133A times ..
