Taipei, Sep. 26th, 2006—SiS today announced that it, as usual, has been invited to participate in yearly AMD Mobile Forum which is held on the 26th of Sep. in Nice, France. SiS will present its latest chipsets,the SiS771 and the SiSM771, for AMD desktop PCs and Notebook PCs platforms respectively.

The AMD Mobile Forum has huge influence on IT field, and is considered as a remarkable event. This year, AMD is ready to not only disclose its next-generation CPUs, architectures, various solutions for different functions of platforms, but also to show its visions to all value partners at the forum.

SiS and AMD have built a close partnership for years. The market shares of the SiS chipsets, which are particularly designed for AMD platforms, have been stably growing. Both SiS and AMD dedicate themselves to providing more superior innovations to the consumers, and this kind of belief strongly influence the way they works and the products they design. At the AMD Mobile Forum 2006, SiS will present the lowest power-consumption AMD platforms, which are based on the SiSM771 and the SiS771 for notebook PCs and desktop PCs respectively.

Both of the SiSM771 and the SiS771 integrated chipsets are currently the most competitive accomplishments in the SiS product lineup. The function of low power-consumption results from the concept of environmental friendly, and which is viewed as key point in every field. The SiSM771 chipset is designed for notebook PCs, and meets the requirement of mobility for notebook PCs users; the SiS771 chipset, on the other hand, is designed for desktop PCs, and it aims to bring better solution with low power-consumption and less undesired sound for desktop PCs users.

The SiSM771 integrated chipset is compatible with AMD64 Socket S1 processor. This platform is embedded with the Mirage^TM3 graphics engine which supports hardware DirectX 9.0 to deliver advanced image quality of both 2D and 3D effects. As for the power-consumption, the Mirage^TM3 graphics engine is designed to automatically adjust the clock when delivering 2D and 3D effects. The power-consumption decreases around 40% with such technology, and which means the electric power has been used appropriately. Besides, combining with the SiS307 video chip, the SiSM771 platform provides extra expansion slots to hook up with large-sized LCD TVs and CRT TVs. Consumers are able to enjoy excellent quality of DVD and HDTV with larger and better image delivery. Also, the SiSM771 platform is equipped with the SiS968 Southbridge chip and the SiS196 high-speed Gb Ethernet chip to have faster internet access.

The SiS771 integrated chipset for desktop PCs is embedded with new-generation graphics engine of the SiS Mirage^TM3 and specially made for AMD64 Socket AM2 platforms covering AMD Athlon^TM64 X2 and Athlon^TM64 FX CPUs. With the Mirage^TM3 graphics engine, SiS771 platform performs the outstanding 3D effects and high-quality 2D video playback. Besides, it comes with the function of low power-consumption, and which results in relatively less undesired sound. Also, the SiS771 platform supports PCI Express x 16 interface enabling flexibly upgrades the operating systems, and provides better video performance of 3D games and multimedia audio effects. Integrating with the SiS968 Southbridge chip and the SiS196 high-speed Gigabit Ethernet chip, the SiS771 platform enables you to surf faster and stable on the internet.

The SiSM771 and the SiS771 platforms will be presented live-demos at AMD Mobile Forum 2006. SiS believes that it will create more valuable results for either companies or people in IT field by presenting more advanced products in such an important event.
