SiS656 PCIe Chipset Selected by AVL in Dual DDR2-667 Memory Test Certification Platform
|
Taipei, February 3, 2005---Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS), a leading supplier of core logic chipsets, today announced that its P4-supporting high-end and PCI Express-based chipset SiS656 will be used by AVL (Advanced Validation Labs) in Dual DDR2-667 memory test certification platform, making it a key core logic chipset to provide AVL in DDR2-667 platform validation.
AVL is a technology services company specializing in the pre-production and post-production testing and validation of memory to industries, including motherboard manufacturers, chip makers and DRAM fabricators. Products selected by AVL as the strict certification platform means the superb compatibility and stability as well as the quality assurance and promise to end customers.
In continuity of the support in DDR2 DRAM, SiS656 platform has passed DDR2-533 memory validation testing at AVL. As DDR2-667 is poised to become the industry’s mainstream memory standard, SiS’ R&D team has been actively promoting this new technology in step with this trend. "The SiS656 chipset has demonstrated its capability in supporting Dual DDR2-667 memory system. This highlights SiS’ excellent technology and innovation in chipset design," Larry Ho, Director of Technical Labs, Advanced Validation Labs. "AVL’s readiness of SiS656 as one of the standard platforms for our DDR2-667 certification test acknowledges SiS’ long-term commitment in achieving compatibility and stability between chipsets and memory products."
SiS656 has recently completed the co-validation for DDR2-667 memory specification with the three major international memory makers, Elpida, Micron and Samsung. Motherboards and computer systems equipped with SiS656 chipset will have optimal high-speed memory compatibility and stability. Supporting PCI Express, SiS656 is the perfect match for high-speed memory DDR2-667, which satisfies new-generation system requirements for high transfer rates, low power consumption and high memory capacity. The SiS656 chipset’s outstanding design clearly demonstrates stability and maturity in SiS' technology development. It also points up the close partnership between SiS and international memory makers.
