VIA Labs, Inc., a leading supplier of USB 3.0 integrated chip controllers, today announced the VIA Labs VL800 USB 3.0 Host Controller. Adding to the industry’s leading line-up of USB 3.0 products, the VL800 is a single chip solution that allows a PCI Express-equipped platform to interface with up to four SuperSpeed USB peripheral devices simultaneously – double the capability of any currently available USB 3.0 host controller. Samples of the VIA Labs VL800 USB 3.0 Host Controller are now shipping, with motherboards from leading vendors available from the second half of this year.
