Trinity is the name chosen by VIA Technology to identify a new platform, with chipset, processor and video card integrated or discrete, designed specifically for use in systems NETBOOK that it should provide adequate processing power to manage video streams to high definition.
They are part of these platform 3 distinct elements: a VIA processor family Nano, the VIA VX800 chipset with integrated video subsystem and optionally a dedicated video card series S3 Chrome. The number of members in this platform can vary from 2 to 3, Depending on whether or not to be integrated dedicated video card. The VIA VX800 chipset, called media system processor, integrates into a single chip design to all the traditional components and is connected to the processor through V4 bus at 800 MHz clock.
With a platform of this kind may VIA better offer in the market for systems NETBOOK, where small size and content consumption stripped elements of utmost importance. To this we add the flexibility given by discrete video card, with support for DirectX 10.1 API, which offers higher margins than customizing solutions for NETBOOK which will also provide a valuable processing power with 3D applications, especially in optical media.
