SiS intros 128-bit graphics chip

Details about the SiS300 graphics chip have emerged. Hardware site Fullon3D says the graphic product will be integrated into new versions of SiS core logic sets 630/450. According to the site, which has prepared a set of benchmarks, the SiS300 is a standalone graphics chip which will supersede the SiS 6326. The 128-bit chip will support up to 64Mb of 166MHz SD/SGRAM and also implements environmental bump mapping, in a similar way to Matrox with its G400. The SiS300 will ship next month, and includes a range of DVD and video features, and different optimisations. ®
