TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Silicon Integrated Systems Corp. here today introduced what the company claims is the first single-chip PC logic device for the Athlon microprocessor from Advanced Micro Device Inc. The SiS730S integrates the "north bridge," the "south bridge" and an enhanced 128-bit 3-dimensional graphics accelerator, said the Taiwan chip supplier.

The new device is aimed at the high-performance PC market segment. SiS said the chip delivers high-speed data transferring capabilities, including 56-kilobit modem, Fast Ethernet, 1/10-Mbit Home PNA and IDE ATA100. It also provides hardware DVD playback, flexible dual view display and 3-D positional audio.

The SiS730S uses PC133 synchronous DRAMs, and the device has been designed for smaller logic board layouts with full functional capabilities, ccording to the Taiwan PC core logic and graphics supplier.

Samples of the chip will become available this month with mass production slated to start in August. SiS said the device will sell for $39 each in 10,000-piece quantities. The company also said it expects PC makers to introduce systems using the chip in the third quarter this year.
