Anandtech has a writeup about this new VIA chipset for the P4. It uses QBM memory that isn't out yet (or possibly never will be).

VIA's first chipset to support QBM will be the P4X800 for the Pentium 4; the chipset will begin sampling in Q1-2003 and it will ship by the end of Q1-2003. Unfortunately this in itself may limit the success QBM sees; we've already established that motherboard makers won't touch VIA's renegade Pentium 4 chipset because of pressure from Intel, and even though QBM is a tempting technology we have our doubts that it will be what causes players like ASUS and MSI to go against Intel's wishes. The QBM technology itself is licensed from Kentron Technologies, so in theory SiS could obtain a license to produce their own QBM enabled chipsets should the technology take off.
