VIA and Nvidia netbook platform plans terminated
written by Ciro - November 6, 2008 06:00
What was the perfect netbook platform for some...

The pairing of VIA's C7 and Nano processors with Nvidia's MCP79 chipset (which features the GeForce 9300M GPU) have fallen through, according to DigiTimes. More here.

Nvidia and VIA Technologies' cooperation over a platform for netbooks and Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) was recently suspended, according to sources at VIA.

Nvidia and VIA signed a cooperation agreement in April this year which would see VIA's C7 and Nano CPUs paired with MCP79 IGP chipsets from Nvidia, according to previous reports.

Although cooperation on the platform is suspended, VIA said the two are still continuing to cooperate and will showcase co-developed desktop PC products at CES 2009.
