SiS and VIA to enjoy better-than-expected chipset shipments in 4Q

Intel's slow down in production of entry-level chipsets has left the door wide open for SiS and VIA to sneak in and ship out a few more boards.  :

Buoyed by smoother output of its Pentium 4-based SiS661, SiS may enjoy an on-quarter jump of 50% in shipments in the fourth quarter, doubling its original estimate of 25%, the company noted. In November,

SiS saw its chipset shipments climb to three million units, up 87.5% sequentially, the company said.

Chipset shipments from VIA is expected to grow 40% sequentially in the fourth quarter, beating its original goal of 32%, company sources indicated.
