The VIA VT82C693 is a Northbridge chipset used in computer motherboards. It was part of the Apollo Pro 133 series, which supported the Slot 1 and Socket 370 processor form factors. The VT82C693 Northbridge was designed to work in conjunction with the VT82C596A Southbridge chipset, providing a range of features for Pentium III and Celeron-based systems.

Key features of the VIA VT82C693 included support for AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) for improved graphics performance, a 133MHz Front Side Bus (FSB), and compatibility with both SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory) and VCM SDRAM. The chipset also supported the Universal Serial Bus (USB) for enhanced peripheral connectivity.

During its time, the VIA VT82C693 was widely used in motherboards for mainstream and enthusiast systems. It contributed to the overall performance and feature set of these motherboards, providing the foundation for many computer configurations.
