VIAs biggest problem is distribution and clinging to old corp culture. They used to be a PC powerhouse supplying almost half of chipset market. Now they are a niche survivor, dabbling in ARM SoCs and embedded computer platforms (car PCs, the ones you can see mounted in a trunk of every police cruiser). But they cant seem to understand they are nobody today. They keep acting like Broadcom, requiring tons of NDAs, not delivering any documentation, making problems when you want to buy moderate quantities of their stuff. Via could try to take over SoC market from the bottom up by simply being OPEN. Instead they make half assed attempts from time to time like http://apc.io http://apc.io You know they are fucked if you cant even buy their products directly from them (out of stock).
