Xbit-labs are reporting (http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/story.html?id=1015423188) that ATI will be demonstrating its A3 and A4 motherboard chipsets at CeBit.
The A3 chipset is designed to operate with both Intel Pentium III/Celeron chips and AMD Althon’s, while the A4 is ATi’s Pentium4 chipset. All are designed to use PC1600 and PC2100 DDR RAM, operate in conjunction with a third party Southbridge chip (currently assume to be supplied by ALi) and have an integrated Radeon 7000 (Radeon VE) graphics core. Its believed that ATi received the Intel licenses for these chipsets in their out-of-court settlement a few years back.
Xbit mention that ATi will be showing full mainboard designs of these chipsets and its also believed that a number of notebook manufacturers have also shown interest in the chipsets.
