Intel’s dominance of the netbook chip market is being challenged from two side.  On one side are the upcoming AMD Fusion chips , and now from the other flank comes VIA.  The latest VIA paltform combines a VIA Nano 1.2ghz  U3100 CPU with a VIA VX900 graphics processor to enable HD video playback on low power netbooks. Sascha, over at Netbook News, got to check out a test system with a 1.2GHz Nano U3100 processor and VX900 graphics chipset with HD Chromation 2.0. The chipset is fully  1080p HD video capable out of the box.  According to Sascha , we should start to see systems using the new VIA chips in June at the Computex trade show. Check out the video after the break.
