First batch of VIIV PCs not to support DMA
It is rumored that Intel?s upcoming VIIV 1.0 disables digital media adaptor (DMA) functionality, the first batch of VIIV PCs are recognized to be more like high-end entertainment PCs, the sources commented. By June, when the chip giant introduces the DMA-supporting 1.5 version, PC makers are looking to roll out a more complete digital home product line according to sources. I can’t believe Intel would laucnh VIIV like this, but I’ve seen worse over the years.
Intel is scheduled to launch its ?Viiv? consumer PC platform at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in the US on January 9, with 1-2 models based on the platform available from Acer, AOpen, Gigabyte Technology, Micro-Star International (MSI) and Shuttle. The first batch of Viiv PCs, however, will not feature built-in digital media adaptor (DMA) capability
