Passage of processors core 2 Duo on 1333 MHz system bus prepared in the third quarter of this year , result in a completely difficult situation. for Taiwan chipsets producers . As is known, for the production of chipsets with support to the new system bus frequency is necessary to get the license from Intel. To us it is already known that VIA company not only intends to prolong the acting license in the production of chipsets for Intel platform , but also it will present in the fourth quarter of this year , chipset with support to the 1333 MHz system bus, which will at the same time propose support for interface PCI express 2.0 and single-channel memory of type DDR 3-1333.
But What are the plans of SIS company in this sphere ? , which after passage of ATI under AMD can become the supplier of cheap integrated chipsets sold under Intel trade mark Yesterday on SiS official appeared the press release, in which the company told about signing a long-term license agreement with Intel company , which will allow SiS to develop and to sell chipset for processors core 2 Quad with 1333 MHz system bus.
Focus attention - here there is no misprint, SiS speaks about support of four core processors core 2 Quad with 1333 MHz system bus, although we know that such CPU will appear only after passage on 45 nm technical process at the beginning of the following year. The existing four core processor core 2 Quad and Core 2 Extreme qXxxxx will preserve the 1066 MHz system bus. In other words, if in the initial press release text there is no mistake, SiS will propose chipset with support to 45 nm four core processors yorkfield.
