ELmer - Re: "I think Intel is just sitting on higher speed P4s because AMD is non competitive at this point. As soon as AMD gets closer look for Intel to widen the gap. " Yeah !! Yeah !!! Intel is just stockpiling all those 1.8 and 2.0 GHz Pentium 4's - until AMD comes out with anything higher than their 1.2 GigaHumpers !!! Paul (Immitation of an AMDroid rant !)

Elmer - Tualatin must be getting close - SIS announced two new chip sets supporting Tualatin - one with SDRAM support, the other with DDR support !! newsalert.com March 13, 2001 02:17 SiS Leads the Industry in Mass Production of Two Chipsets That Support Intel's Tualatin CPU Jump to first matched term 'Double Triumphs' -- SiS633T and SiS635T TAIPEI, Taiwan, March 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Silicon Integrated Systems Corp. (SiS), a leading supplier of core logic and graphics chip, today announced the mass production of two chipsets that support Intel's next generation Tualatin CPU. These two chipsets, SiS633T and SiS635T, using open-architecture single chip design, are the first ones in mass production among all potential competing products. As to their respective functions, SiS633T supports SDRAM while SiS635T supports DDR. Since their introduction, SiS has teamed up with several local motherboard manufacturers in conducting promotion tours in Mainland China and Asia, and has received tremendous responses from the channel distributors. This "Double Triumphs" (SiS633T and SiS635T) meant significantly to SiS in obtaining a greater market share. "Being the pioneer in mass production of these two chipsets has demonstrated our correct product strategy, and the worldly competitive yield and optimum capacity of our 8-inch fab," said Ken Huang, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "It further strengthens our confidence that the business model of building our own wafer fab is working since it streamlines the scheduling and assures availability of our products. "SiS has now deployed the 0.18-micron process in most of its production in its 8-inch fab, and successfully pilot-run the advanced 0.15- micron process. With the mass production of SiS633T and SiS635T, it indicates the wafer fab is increasingly playing a key role in SiS' future growth. In an effort to distinguish SiS635 being the first DDR chipset in mass production, SiS has renamed the earlier SiS635 to SiS635T where "T" stands for "Tualatin". As the memory technology advances, SiS has positioned with complete product lines and technology innovation to assist its customers in adapting to the rapidly changing market place. "In an era when the competition in the PC market has shifted from high computation to specs, it symbolizes the arrival of valued-PC days. The manufacturers' challenge is to offer new products with superior performance, various add-on values as well as price competitiveness," indicated Huang. "SiS is distributing its cost advantage and production flexibility to the customers in its value chain. In responding to the changeover of memory technology, SiS offered SiS633T and SiS635T in mass production to support Intel's Tualatin CPU. Additionally, SiS635T is also the first chipset that meets the requirement of 184-pin SDR/DDR Share Mode memory specification. The direction of our product development emphasizes not only in satisfying the market needs, but also in enhancing the added value of our customers' products." Lately, SiS has announced a series of new products, indicating its attempt to satisfy customers' needs in different market segments, and its eagerness to earn 30% of the market share. About SiS Silicon Integrated Systems Corp. (SiS) was founded in 1987 in the Hsinchu Science-based Industrial Park, Taiwan. Being a preeminent leader of highly integrated logic solutions, the company's focuses include product design, production, testing and marketing. It has CPU, core logic, graphics and connectivity technologies. SiS also owns an advanced 8" wafer fab, which is now in mass production with 0.18u process. The company constructed its first 12" fab in Tainan Science Park from December 2000. SiS is a publicly listed company in Taiwan (TSE: 2363) and currently has a total of about 1,400 employees.
