Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS, Traditional Chinese: 矽統科技) is a company that manufactures, among other things, motherboard chipsets. The company was founded in 1987 in Hsinchu Science Park, Taiwan. The Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (TSEC) is a financial institution, located in Taiwan, Republic of China, located at 17 Po-Ai Road, Taipei, Taiwan. ...
Hsinchu Science Park (Chinese: æ°ç«¹ç§å¸åå; Hanyu Pinyin: XÄ«nzhú KÄ Xué Yuán QÅ«; Tongyong Pinyin: Sinjhú Ke Syué Yuán Cyu) was established by the government of the Republic of China on December 15, 1980 with investment from the Kuomintang. ...

Business
In the late 1990s, SiS made the decision to invest in their own chip fabrication facilities. At the end of 1999, SiS acquired Rise Technology and that company's failed mP6 x86 core technology.[1] It has been suggested that Pure-play semiconductor foundry be merged into this article or section. ...

Motherboard chipsets One of the most famous chipsets produced by SiS was the late 486-age chipset 496/497 which supported PCI bus among older ISA- and VLB-buses. Motherboards using this chipset and equipped with CPUs such as the Intel 80486DX4, AMD 5x86 or Cyrix Cx5x86 processors had performance and compatibility comparable with early Intel Pentium systems in addition to a lower price. This article is about the computer bus type. ...

After this late success, SiS continued positioning itself as a budget chipset producer. The company emphasized high integration to minimize the cost to implement their solutions. As such, SiS one-chip motherboard chipsets that included integrated video, such as the Socket 7-based SiS 5596, SiS 5598, and SiS 530 along with the Slot 1-based SiS 620. These were some of the first PC chipsets with such high integration. They allowed entire system solutions to be built with just a motherboard, system RAM, and a CPU. Socket 7 is a physical and electrical specification for an x86-style CPU socket on a personal computer motherboard. ...
Slot 1 refers to the physical and electrical specification for the connector used by some of Intels microprocessors, including the Celeron, Pentium II and the Pentium III. Slot 1 was a departure from the square ZIF PGA/SPGA sockets used for the Pentium and earlier processors. ...
Socket7 The SiS 530(Sindbad)/SiS5595 supported Socket 7, SDRAM 1.5GB max., a bus frequency from 66 MHz to 124 MHz, and can have from 2 to 8 MiB shared memory for an integrated AGP SiS 6306 2D/3D graphics controller. Includes integrated UDMA66 IDE controller. Motherboards using the SiS 530 were positioned as cheap office platforms and paired often with low-cost chips from Intel competitors, such as the AMD K6 series or Cyrix 6x86. The graphics controller had Direct3D 6.0 and OpenGL support, although it was a very low-performance product for 3D acceleration.[2] Socket 7 is a physical and electrical specification for an x86-style CPU socket on a personal computer motherboard. ...
