Intel Viiv platform PCs said to cost US$1,000-1,500
The Intel marketing machine has left the IT industry looking forward to the Viiv systems coming out in 2006. We are just now finding out prices and the complete sytems are looking to run US$1,000-1,500.
Taiwan PC and chipset makers expect high prices for Intel Viiv PCs, slated for launch next year, will initially make it difficult for the platform to find traction in the market, limiting the threat to Taiwan chipset vendors, according to Taiwan-based PC makers. The makers noted that Intel will face some issues trying to get the market to adopt the Viiv platform, including higher quotes for using Microsoft Window Media Center OS and insufficient software support for digital audio and video capabilities. The selling prices of Viiv-based system will be US$1,000-1,500, whereas mainstream PCs cost US$299-499, the makers said.
