SiS reportedly has quoted its single-channel DDR400-supporting SiS648FX discrete chipset at US$20-25 and even offered a price of as low as US$17, according to some motherboard makers. Despite its slower launch schedule, VIA is said to have announced aggressive pricing for its return to the P4 chipset market. According to motherboard sources, VIA is quoting its new PT800 at US$22-23 to second-tier manufacturers and at below US$20 to first-tier clients. In addition, for orders of 500,000 units, the chipset designer will also offer an extra rebate of US$3 per unit. The pricing, however, was not confirmed by the chipset designer.
