SIS: VERY Cheap Core Logic for Duron

From X-bit labs: xbitlabs.com

"We received a word about SIS’ intention to launch core logic, that would become the cheapest of all the existing Socket A chipsets. This marvel will be named SIS-730SE. It won’t differ greatly from the already existing SIS730S. The only change is the absence of external AGP Video support on the new chip. All the other specifications have remained unchanged: PC133/PC100 SDRAM, UDMA33/66/ATA-100, and so on.
The new chipset is predicted to cost $2-3 less than VIA KLE133 with integrated Trident Blade 3D graphics (it is now the cheapest chip for Socket A platforms). To put it in real figures, we’ll have SIS-730SE pricing at $15-18. Yeah, it seems to be the floor...
Summing it up, we can foresee a real massacre in the Low-End Socket A chipsets sector. Thriving prospects, how do you think? Apprehensions are caused only by the probable troubles SIS may have with shipping proper quantities of chipsets to the mainboards manufacturers, as it used to happened. Maybe, this time SIS will be able to skirt the trouble."
