The V behind MII of the picture means the chip is manufactered by the VIA corp.Is that right?

the 'v' is fairly common. all chips marked with a 'v' have been made by National Semiconductor, I have not yet determined WHAT the V means.

Maybe V mean newer technology process.

Example :

Cyrix MII 300 goldcap without V have 0,35 micron
Cyrix MII 300 goldcap wth V have 0,3 micron
