Published by

Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS), a leading supplier of core logic products, today participates the RAMBUS Developer Forum Taiwan (RDF Taiwan), to be one of the key-note and showcase the latest upgrade Rambus memory chipset - SiSR659. Michael Chen, President and CEO of SiS, will deliver the RDF keynote address on "PC market trends, RDRAM memory relative technologies, and SiS' market positions". SiS will also host a joint press conference with RAMBUS following this forum. At the RDF Taiwan event, the SiSR659 is the highest performance product in Intel Pentium 4 platforms. Utilizing a high speed that supports quad channel 1200 MHz RDRAM, the SiSR659 delivers an outstanding 9.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth (theoretically, Ed.)- making it the fastest chipset on the market today. To support the high speed and capacity of RDRAM, SiS implements the new Advanced Hyperstreaming? Engine (AHSE) architecture to give the SiSR659 full compatibility with 800 MHz FSB CPUs. The SiSR659 brings overall system operations to an unsurpassed performance level.

"In the world of Desktop PCs, the SiSR659 is truly an accomplishment in combining outstanding performance with elegant architecture." Michael Chen, President and CEO of SiS said:" Going forward, SiS and Rambus will continue developments for Rambus memory products and make further inroads in the advancement of high-performance computing."
