VIA processors for the first time into the second-largest personal computer maker Dell (Dell) supply chain, Dell’s new low-power server decided to use VIA’s Nano processor, 400 U.S. dollars into the following low-cost server market.
This is achieved, following VIA Technologies, Inc. Hewlett-Packard, Samsung and other brand factory processor orders, again in the first-line brands breakthrough customer base. This is the first time, VIA processor server market. Analysts said that Dell servers using the new low-power VIA 1.3GHz, 1.6GHz version of Nano processor, a virtual lock to provide the hosting service Web hosting company; mutually taste test the product, it is the first time VIA server market for the near future processor products a major breakthrough in the layout .
It is worth noting that Intel has always been a server processor and ultra-wai site, Dell this low-level server product sales, if opened, follow the layout of the VIA will be low-level server market to help.
VIA Technologies, Inc. as a result of the net value of below 5 yuan per share, was to enter the full delivery of shares, still to be added for the constituent stocks of MSCI; Analysts said that VIA processor in the global market share, although only 1%, but if up to 5% to 6%, will be able to cross the break-even point, start to turn a profit.
VIA is the acquisition of National Semiconductor processor sector to enter the field of processors, due to brain drain during the integration, sales slump. Compared with rival ultra-Granville Intel, VIA processor industry in recent years about 1% of market share to 2%.
However, VIA Technologies, Inc. relied on low-cost low-power and competitive advantages, have won the first-line since last year, factory orders for the brand, Hewlett-Packard last year on the use of VIA C7-M processor to launch low-cost computer, this is the first VIA Technologies, Inc. Hewlett-Packard entered the mainstream Notebook Product Line; However, Hewlett-Packard computer and back to the next generation of low-priced Intel processor.
VIA Technologies, Inc. launched last year, low-power processors, the new Nano, because of product performance and power better than the previous generation of products; Samsung for the first time the use of VIA processor used in the 12-inch notebook product line, mainly Intel customers only when strictly power of the Atom processor can be used in 7-inch to 10-inch products, which will make Samsung products in favor of VIA.
Dell to enter the VIA supply chain, access to low-level server market. Analysts believe that this server price of about 400 U.S. dollars, only a fraction of the price of ordinary number of servers, performance is also weak, but the VIA processor architecture so that the server to maintain low power consumption and low-cost, but the order of the initial revenue contribution of VIA Technologies limited.
