From Xbit Labs: In the second half 2002 ALi will update its Athlon chipset line. MAGiK 1 will be succeeded with a new chipset uniting M1667 North Bridge and M1563 South Bridge. It is noteworthy that in this chipset ALi will finally give up using PCI bus to connect the Bridges: M1667 and M1563 will be connected via HyperTransport bus like Bridges in NVIDIA nForce. M1667 North Bridge will support AGP 8x and DDR333. M1563 South Bridge will also have some new abilities: we’ll see USB 2.0, ATA-133, Ethernet, AC/MC-97 and Memory Stick interface support. We’d like to stress that this Bridge will be used in every Ali’s chipset to be launched in 2003. Next year ALi will update its Pentium 4 chipset once again. The new product will incorporate M1681 North Bridge supporting 400/533MHz bus, AGP 8x, DDR400 and DDR333, and the already mentioned M1563 South Bridge. In 2003 ALi plans to launch a couple of chipsets for the ClawHammer family. The first of them will be equipped with M1678 and M1563 Bridges and will support AGP 8x. The other one will have M1688 North Bridge with an integrated graphics engine. It’s curious that M1688 will have a DDR333 controller to be used by the embedded graphics engine. xbitlabs.com Joe
