The SiS, VIA and Intel Showdown at the Performance Chipset CorralDec 15, 2003 - in Reviews
At the beginning of next year, Intel will launch faster Pentium 4 processors based on the well-known Socket 478. This should unleash a fresh round of debate about what is the best performance chipset, since a fast processor should also have the support of a platform that's as speedy as it can be. The newset product vying to unseat the Intel 875P is the 655TX from SiS. We also pitted it against the production version of the VIA PT880.
