VIA: Second largest processor supplier

Oooh, what a headline! Now, no, VIA has not toppled AMD off the second spot on the shelf and they're not likely too soon, or maybe not in the desktop space but they're making huge headway in the netbook and notebook space. Lenovo has just placed a huge number of orders with Taiwanese manufacturers, including VIA. The US$3.255 billion dollars worth of orders this week included US$50 million with VIA, making VIA the second largest processor supplier for Lenovo, second only to Intel.
