SiS to begin producing DDR3 chipsets in late 2007
As a follow-up to its recent announcement of next-generation desktop chipset products targeted to hit the market in 2007, Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) stated that the SiS665, the company’s first northbridge that will support DDR3 memory technology, will reach production phase in the end of 2007, but volume shipments are currently not expected to start before 2008.
First samples of the SiS665 are expected to be ready in the third quarter of 2007, and this product will likely be another step in the 80nm process deployment by United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC). The northbridge will support both DDR2 and DDR3 memory interfaces, and this will probably be implemented through two memory controllers in the northbridge, SiS said. In addition to this, the chip will also support a next-generation PCIe interface, according to the company.
