- The new VIA VT8235 South Bridge has been designed from the ground up to incorporate the essential features of the 'Total Connectivity' era. First to market innovations include 8X V-Link
interface, integrated support for six USB 2.0 ports for peripheral connectivity 40 times faster than USB 1.1, and ATA-133 support, the fastest parallel IDE interface available. Additional features
integrated into the South Bridge include a VIA 10/100Mbps Ethernet MAC, integrated PCI support, 6 Channel Surround Sound AC-97 audio, and MC-97 modem support
- 8X V-Link
- VIA developed V-Link technology to remove the PCI bus bottleneck in inter-chip communication. In less advanced chipsets, the PCI bus is responsible for connecting both the North and South
Bridge, as well as providing a bus for most add-in peripherals. VIA 8X V-Link technology provides a dedicated 133MHz quad-pumped bus between the North and South Bridge, freeing up the PCI bus to
deal strictly with peripheral devices and providing aggregate transfer of 533MB/s, four times the bandwidth of the original PCI interconnect
- USB 2.0: empowering peripherals like never before
- VIA has long recognized the potential of USB as a universal interconnect system, designing USB 1.1 support into our award-winning core logic chipsets well in advance of the proliferation of
USB-enabled PC peripherals. Following the widespread adoption of USB 1.1, VIA now sees the drive to new industry standard USB 2.0 as a natural evolution, meeting the greater bandwidth demands of
today's PC peripherals and applications, from higher resolution video to fast storage unit access, while being backwards compatible with existing peripherals
- As a member of the USB Implementers Forum, VIA is helping to facilitate an industry-wide move towards adoption of the latest USB specifications, by integrating full support for the high
bandwidth technology into upcoming core logic chipsets
