Well, it’s high time we summed up the results of the unofficial competition between the three Taiwanese chipset makers for the last half a year (the previous results are available for your reference in our June News Archive):

Revenues, million NT dollars
Company	June 2002	Compared with May 2002	January-June 2002	Compared with H1 2001
VIA	1531	-10.6%	12630	-31%
SiS	1002	-3.7%	6838	39%
ALi	588	-7%	3223	58.6%

As we can see from the table above, the past June didn’t turn very successful for any of them: the average sales went down, which is especially the case for VIA, as they have been slowing down for a long time already.

ALi Company as usual manages to achieve pretty good results due to timely diversification of its production, and SiS keeps catching up with VIA… I think that if it hadn’t been for the limitation of production capacities, then SiS could have already taken the first position in this rating. And since these limitations are still there, VIA keeps retaining the leadership solely due to its Socket A chipsets, where no actual competition exists.
