Joint Development of 4-Channel RDRM Chipset Silicon Integrated Systems Corp, Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd, ASUSTeK Computer Inc and Rambus Inc have cooperated in the development of the next-generation RDRAM-based chipsets, the SiS R659, targeted at the performance computing and multimedia gaming markets. The R659 chipset represents the second offering from SiS' family of RDRAM products. Incorporating high-speed interface and memory controller technology from Rambus, the R659 chipset drives four channels of 1.2GHz RDRAM memory resulting in 9.6 Gbytes/s of memory bandwidth. This represents a 50% higher performance gain compared with dual-channel DDR chipsets. The chipset also includes architectural enhancements for higher performance through faster response time, as well as up to 16 Gbytes of total memory capacity. The RDRAM chipset achieves high performance using standard commodity RIMM modules. This latest Rambus solution from SiS pairs the SiSR659 with the SiS964 in the south bridge, which integrates USB 2.0 with up to eight ports and serial ATA features. Sample delivery of the SiSR659 is scheduled for the third quarter of 2003. (April 2003 Issue, Nikkei Electronics Asia)
