Genesis: X-bit labs look around CeBIT 2001
May 27, 2002

"Together with the announcements of its new processors, VIA keeps pushing forward the devices, where these CPUs can be successfully used. We mean Information PCs and Set Top Boxes. We have to mention that VIA's positions in this market sector are pretty strong so far.
