ULi Electronics Inc. announces its super single chip-M1689 as industry’s most ideal chip to support AMD Sempron processor. ULi’s M1689 is not only packed with cutting-edge features, but also offers flexibility and cost efficient to design, making M1689 the ideal choice widely acquired by global major ODM manufacturers for both mobile and desktop PCs.
M1689 works perfectly with AMD Sempron processor to deliver superior system performance in handling large amount of digital media contents and graphics applications. Outperforming competitors in features and price, the M1689 is the best solution to meet the ever-growing computing requirements for today’s homes and offices.
Comparing with two-chip design, ULi’s M1689 single chip architecture offers motherboard manufactures an immense advantage in price and performance with lower latency. M1689 supports AMD Cool’n’Quiet technology - a system-level feature designed to lower power consumption when maximum processor performance is not required and ultimately achieve a quieter system for users. M1689, using Power64 technology, complements AMD’s 64-bit technology for superior computing capabilities that boost high quality digital entertainment, life-like 3D games, and enhanced software applications for creativity and productivity.
Its HyperTransport Interface to the AMD’s Athlon 64 CPUs is designed to sustain data transfers up to 2.0GT/s. M1689 features eight USB2.0 ports for the casual storage and connections to AV devices, two Serial ATA Interface that features transfer rate of up to 1.5 Gbits/s.
ULi anticipates to build more market share with AMD Athlon 64 as major OEMs and system builders plan to offer AMD Sempron 32 processor-based notebook and desktop systems into market in the second half of 2004.
“ULi has worked diligently with AMD to provide the best chipset solutions supporting AMD-based platforms,” said Alex Kuo, President of ULi Electronics Inc. “The result of this effort enables the release of M1689. It further proves that ULi’s advanced single chip provides the most optimal choice in the industry which carry-out the best of AthlonTM 64 process-base systems.”
