VIA looks to embedded market for profits

By

VIA expects rising sales from its embedded processor platform to help the company return to profitability this year, despite a loss of about NT$50 million for its 2004 operations, according to company president Chen Wen-chi.

VIA recorded pre-tax losses of NT$4.9 billion on revenues of NT$19.449 billion in 2004, due to dramatic price falls in the chipset industry and the implementation of new accounting rules, Chen explained. VIA has started seeing profits from its embedded platform division, Chen noted, adding that the company expects to see phenomenal growth in the segment in August and September.
