~ The new milestone of integration technology for the Internet Age ~
Taipei, Taiwan, May 10, 1999 - SiS, a leading core logic and graphics supplier, today announced the industry's first Pentium !!! single chip with integrated 3C (computing, consumer and communication) technology, the SiS630. The SiS630 empowers mainstream PCs with all the features required for the Internet Age. The SiS630 reinforces SiS' integration leadership already established by previous four generation of solutions.
The SiS630 integrates the north bridge chip, super south bridge chip (SiS960) and the real 128-bit 3D graphics accelerator (SiS300) all into one single chip. It provides high quality functions of V.90 Software Modem , 10/100M Fast Ethernet , 1M Home PNA, 3D Positional Audio , Advanced H/W DVD playback and 2D/3D graphics engine. By using SiS630, mainstream PCs will be able to deliver the state-of-the-art 3C performance with no need for various add-on cards. The SiS630 can save over US$150 for board makers and help accelerate products' time-to-market. SiS has ensured that the SiS630 is optimized for the latest Pentium !!! and Celeron rises.
In addition, SiS630 consists of the following key features:
1. PC'99 and PCI 2.2 compliant
2. Support all Pentium !!!/II, Celeron rises synchronous and asynchronous front side bus frequencies
3. Support PC133 VCRAM/SDRAM , 3 DIMMs and up to 1.5GB main memory.
4. Ultra ATA66 IDE 5.
5 OpenHCI USB ports
6. Ultra-AGP™ Architecture
7. Support digital flat panel interface for TV-out, LCD-out and dual view .
At the conference, SiS also announces its identical, single chip solution for K6-III, the SiS540 which has the exactly same features as SiS630.
The SiS630 or SiS540 can be applied with SiS950, a LPC super I/O chip. Both SiS630 and SiS540 are assembled in the highest pin count plastic BGA package in the world and SiS950 in 128-pin PQFP.
The SiS630 and SiS540 will be sampled in June and July with mass production in August and September, respectively. The SiS630 is priced at US$35 for 10K order while SiS540 at US$29. |
