Bij AMD Zone kun je de press release vinden van de SiS 635 en SiS 735 chipsets. Beide types zijn geschikt voor respectievelijk de Pentium III / Tualatin en de AMD Athlon en Duron processors en kunnen overweg met zowel PC133 als DDR266/DDR200 geheugen. De southbridge met ATA-100 ondersteuning is in de chip geïntegreerd en is aangesloten op een 1,2GB snelle 'Multi-threaded I/O Link'. Beide modellen zijn overigens niet voorzien van ingebakken graphics waardoor de prijs vrij laag is gehouden. In februari en maart van 2001 komen ze op de markt:
Taipei Taiwan, December 11, 2000- Silicon Integrated Systems Corp. (SiS), a
leading core logic and graphics supplier, today announced its first Double Data
Rate (DDR) DRAM-supporting single chip- SiS 635 and SiS 735. The SiS635 supports
Intel Pentium III and Tualatin processors, while the SiS735 supports AMD Athlon
and Duron processors. The SiS635/SiS735 adopt "open architecture",
which integrate the South/North Bridge, Multi-threaded I/O Link (high-speed PCI
bus), and multi-functional voice/communication technologies. The SiS635/SiS735
target at high- performance PC market. With the introduction of the
SiS635/SiS735, SiS provides a comprehensive product portfolio for the chipset
market.
Designed upon open architecture, SiS635/SiS735 does not integrate graphics
function. It worths noting that SiS635/SiS735 provide a SiS-proprietary --Multi-threaded
I/O Link, which allows the communication bandwidth between the North/South
Bridge and PCI bus up to 1.2 GB per second, ten times of that for traditional
PCI bus (133MB). The Multi-threaded I/O Link dramatically enhances the
transmission rate among peripherals. The SiS635/SiS735 deliver optimum system
performance with the support of DDR 266?DDR 200 and PC133 SDRAM. In addition,
they come with advanced features such as AGP4x interface, Fast Write, 3D audio,
high-speed data transmission, including 56K Modem, 10/100 Fast Ethernet, 1M/10M
Home PNA, and IDE ATA100/66/33.
