I know some of them use Ati gpu so if they can combine this with an arm processor they may actually compete against Intel. I've written off Via, they're too slow in both innovation and marketting, and unless Nvidia comes out with a SOC or Amd/Ati then Intel will dictate the direction this market will go. Hopefully someone else will want to come into this game.

Bonus points if you pawn off the chipsets for additional money. Easy fix: Buy the CPU+chipset combo at the lower price, and just throw out the gimpy old 945 chipsets you didn't actually want.

I do not see how this can be interpreted as anything but an anti competitive practice, aimed at keeping ION from getting off the ground.

People are *begging* for ION on netbooks. Intel has a stranglehold on the market now, but when alternatives with ION 2 start showing up…well, I wouldn't want to have to explain that misstep to the shareholders, that's for sure.

At the same time…one wonders if Intel really has to do anything to win at all. Via is slow to market with their nano, AMD isn't in the market at all, and of course alternatives don't run windows desktop OSes. Intel wins, by default, and consumer choice is stifled for want of a real competitor.
