Lately, there's been some talk about what VIA and NVIDIA are up to. We've known for long that the two have been in discussion, but not sure about what. Later on talks about a low-end platform appeared, and further information have now been published over at DailyTech. The two are evidently planning to launch a nanoITX solution which will be more than capable of Vista Premium, Blu-ray HD playback and DirectX 10 games for less than $45, features which the equivalent Intel platform lacks. They call it "The World's Most Affordable Vista Premium PC" and by the looks of it, they're right. The platform will use VIA's Isaiah processor and an IGP chipset from NVIDIA, and even though we haven't seen much of either yet, preliminary benchmarks have shown great potential.
