Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) and VIA Technologies are set to begin volume shipments of integrated chipsets that support the upcoming Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. The Vista OS requires support for DirectX 9.0, which earlier integrated chipset versions from the two Taiwan-based chipset makers did not provide. SiS will release two Vista-ready integrated chipsets – SiS770 for the AMD platform and SiS670 for the Intel solution – with launched dates sheduled for the first quarter of next year and the latter by the third quarter. VIA plans to launch both its PM890 for the Intel platform and K8M890 for the AMD platform in the first quarter of 2006.
Microsoft Windows Vista is expected to hit the market by October 2006, so the volume shipments are expected to begin before the updated OS release date.
