USB2.0 to ship on Intel and VIA Southbridges in 2002
Posted on Tuesday, January 1, 2002 by Ryszard
An email from a highly trusted source landed in my Inbox with a couple of tasty
tidbits of
information regarding chipsets in 2002.
Firstly, Intel are launching a new southbridge in Q2 this year supporting USB2.0
called the ICH4.
Secondly, VIA are close to announcing and releasing a new Southbridge, the V8235, also
supporting
USB2.0.
It seems that USB2.0 is set to be the dominant standard for high speed peripheral
connection in the
coming year. Hopefully both implementations will offer native support for 6 ports and
manufacturers
will take advantage and ship 4-port backplanes.
My source notes that since it becomes effectively free to implement without the need
for an external
processor, it will make its way onto a large majority of boards.

VIA has a webpage describing their add-on PCI controller too.
