Digitimes is reporting that Nvidia and VIA were planning on working together to create a platform for netbooks and put the partnership on hold.  Intel is the compelling force behind netbooks with VIA hoping to get the C7m processors in the mix.  This is a blow to customers who will be at the mercy of Intel in the netbooks category.

AMD said that they won’t be providing a separate chip for netbooks.  They have their Geode processor which is being used in the OLPC, but that processor only runs at 500Mhz currently.

Stay tuned – this story is still developing.
