CeBIT: SiS Presents First AGP 8x GPU!

Published by

Silicon Integrated Systems Corp. (SiS), a leading core logic and graphics supplier presented a first sample board utilitzing their new SiS336 chipset: Actually there is a new range of 33x chipsets from value to high-performance. Read more for the GPU specs, a pic of the sample board and an overview.






SiS 33x series specifications: AGP 8x - AGP 3.0 standard conformity Hardware Pixelshader - SiS Pixelizer DirectX 8.1 functionality - Volume Texturing, Bump Mapping, Cubic Mapping, Shadow Mapping Full Scene Anti Aliasing - Hyper FSAA De-Interlacing & MPEG-Acceleration Up to 128 MB DDR memory Dual Display capability - only with SIS301B Video Bridge SiS T&L engine - T&L based vertex fog range
SiS336 Sample Board - 3.3ns Hynix RAM - Core: 300Mhz; RAM: 275Mhz The GPU series: Chipset Die Size AGP Bus
Transferrate Max. RAM Core & Memoryspeed Memory Bandwidth  SiS 3320,15 Micron 8x / 2,1 GByte/sec 128 MByte DDR 200/200 MHz 6.4 GByte/sec  SiS 3340,15 Micron 8x / 2,1 GByte/sec 128 MByte DDR 250/250 MHz 8.0 GByte/sec  SiS 3360,15 Micron 8x / 2,1 GByte/sec 128 MByte DDR 300/275 MHz 9.6 GByte/sec  SiS expects to ship products based on the 33x series in the second quarter of this year (~April, May). First SiS benchmarks on a Intel P4 1.8Ghz in default 3DMark 2001 shows that a 332 based SiS GPU is about 400 3DMarks faster than a Nvidia GeForce 4 MX440.
