New market share figures compiled by Jon Peddie Research show graphics developer ATI has been losing market share in every graphics products category falling the company’s merger with chipmaker AMD. The reason? AMD’s acquisition of ATI has put the grahpics developer in direct competition with Intel, which used to be an ATI development partner. Thus, ATI is selling fewer graphics controllers designed to work with Intel’s microprocessors.

SiS Plans PCI Express Motherboards For June
Silicon Integrated Systems Corp (SiS) today announced the market leading position of its latest southbridge supporting the new PCI-E standard, the SiS965L. Motherboards incorporated with SiS PCI-Echipsets are ahead of competitors to be provided to the market in June.
Compatible with Mature and Current Northbridge Chips–the Ultimate Combination and Flexibility
Built to PCI-E standards, the SiS965L southbridge is SiS’ premier core logic chipset and outshines the competition, whether in the time-to-market delivery or the flexible northbridge and southbridge combination. The SiS965L can be paired with either a mature or current SiS northbridge to keep overall costs lower. SiS customers can choose to have PCI-E in the southbridge, while going with a proven and reliable solution for the northbridge. By giving customers a broader range of choices, they are able to meet their market segmentation requirements more easily, as well as save on development costs. This flexible combination has created a new market demand, compelling consumers to rush to be the first to experience the new generation efficiency of PCI Express. This kind of market-oriented flexibility is what makes SiS the ideal choice for performance and value.
New SiS Component Ready For PCI-Express
