VIA has announced the new DDR333 supporting chipset KT333. VIA again extends their leading position in AMD supporting DDR chipsets. The new revision step is not such an evolutionary leap as the introduction of the KT266A chipset was though. Nonetheless the new KT333 chipset will mark the performance bar among DDR333 solutions.
Taipei, Taiwan, 20 February 2002 - VIA Technologies, Inc, a leading innovator and developer of core logic chipsets, microprocessors, and multimedia, networking and communications chips, today announced the launch of the VIA Apollo KT333, the first chipset to support new ultra fast DDR333 memory conforming to the JEDEC specification on the Socket A processor platform.
With 25% more memory bandwidth, the VIA Apollo KT333 offers the ultimate in high performance computing, excelling in the most demanding applications, and fully exploiting the unmatched performance of powerful AMD Athlon™ XP processors with QuantiSpeed™ Architecture.
