SiS is now producing its latest chipsets supporting AGP 8X, including its flagship graphics processing unit (GPU), the Xabre 600 series. Following the successful launch of the SiS Xabre400 just months ago, SiS provided a sneak preview of its Xabre600 graphics processing unit (GPU), scheduled to ramp-up by the end of November. The Xabre600 supports AGP 8X as well as DirectX 8.1 for better graphics and faster processing. The Xabre600 also integrates a proprietary SiS Hardware Optimized Vertexlizer Engine? and SiS Xmart? technology, including XmartDrive?, XmartVision?, XmartAGP? and Xminator-II Unified Driver, combined with other best-of-breed technologies, creating the best performance-value GPU on the market. Uniquely, the Xabre600 is the most full-blown AGP compliant GPU on the market, supporting AGP 8X 533 MHz with 16 stages pipeline full side-band function. And the Xabre600 is faster with dual 300 MHz speed for both the engine and memory clock. The Xabre600 also integrates a 256-bit 3D graphics engine and is loaded with new SiS proprietary technologies for a high-performance, cost-effective graphics solution for the mainstream gaming market.
