 PROFILE
Via what means would you take on the world's largest chip maker?

Its S3 Graphics joint venture with SONICblue (formerly S3) has taken it into the market for core logic chipsets used in graphics applications. The fabless company also produces Ethernet controllers and other networking chips. VIA is banking on big growth in the market for its budget microprocessors, which are designed to run PCs costing under $500.
