VIA developing processors for servers

XBit Labs have published a very short little article that suggests that VIA are planning on developing a microprocessor just for the server market. The quote from VP Richard Brown that this seems to be based on is a little less certain however. He says "Our processors have been used quite extensively in low power blades for data center applications, and we are currently evaluating our future strategy and roadmap ..."
VIA Nano processors were featured in an innovative blade design by Dell a few years back but they never gained any real traction in the server market, which is dominated by the Wintel combo.
