Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) and VIA Technologies recently began volume shipments of PCIe-enabled core-logic chipsets for the Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) K8 platform, following Nvidia with its nForce4 MCP and ATI Technologies with its Radeon Xpress 200 series, the companies said.

SiS began shipping the SiS756, a K8-based PCIe-supporting chipset this month, according to the company. In addition, the company started to volume ship two northbridge chips for Intel Pentium 4 CPUs, the SiS656 and SiS649 and one southbridge chip, the SiS965, said the company.
