Chip Company Unveils Open Source PC Design

Clipped to the Drawing Board by Sean  
VIA Technologies, the self-proclaimed No. 3 maker of Intel-compatible processors , has unveiled a new "reference design" for ultra-portable computers based on the company's own low-power chips.

Making a reference design is common fare in the high-tech industry. Chipmakers like Intel have been doing it for years as a way of proving the technical viability of a product concept. What sets VIA's approach apart is that the company is posting the computer-aided design (CAD) files for its OpenBook PC under a Creative Commons license.
