SIS 645 kicks the most butt

See it here:

Beats the i850 in everything except the synthetic memory bandwidth tests. Looking very good even in this supposedly unoptimized form. Yay!

Well, it is known that the weakest point of the RDRAM is the latency, for reasons you may know by now, that bad latency is what makes the DDR333 (PC2700)
operate as good as RDRAM (PC800)..but hey, think how cool it will be with duel-channel DDR333!! it will OWN the duel RERAM- 333 * (2* 8)= PC5300!!!
I would like to ask a question, it appears that some of the tech thay is found in SiS 645 is taken from the SiS 735 - the memmory controler and the bridges bus tech- so is the only differens is the support for DDR333?
take for exmaple the VIA P4X, , its tech is taken from the KT266A..
Is that me or what we see here is that the chipsets makers develop a chipset for the Athlon platform and then realse the same thing for the P4 platform...
I sure hope that this will continue far after DDR will take over the memory market...

Ronc,
I didn't see your post until after mine, other wise I would not have asked about the DDR333.

"so is the only differens is the support for DDR333?"

The AT article made it sound that way, but now it is on 2 chips also.

I said chips not chipsets. I was just referring to when AT mentions that the 735 was all in one big package whereas the 645 had to be put in two seperate packages.

That is good news about the prices. I was beginning to wonder what would be the point if the prices were too big.

Thanks for that, it helps me.

I think a was giving fitting (whether right or wrong) answers to what I thought were his questions.
