PC Core Logic Chipset Suppliers Support Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) Technology

"Intel believes EDO will become the mainstream memory solutions for PCs in 1996, with Synchronous DRAM becoming increasingly important in 1997. Intel will introduce products in 1996 that permit computer OEMs to take advantage of Texas Instruments x16 Synchronous DRAM in differentiating their systems starting in 1996."

Eric Mentzer
Marketing Director, PCI Components Division
Intel Corporation

"In 1996 the PC industry will make the transition to the next generation of high performance memory, namely Synchronous DRAMs. VLSI Technology is ready with core logic chip sets and graphics accelerators for unprecedented levels of performance."

Desi Rhoden
Manager, Strategic Programs
VLSI Technology, Inc.

"VIA fully supports and encourages the use of SDRAM. Our Pentium and Pentium system logic Apollo chipsets enable PCs to perform like workstations when equipped with SDRAM."

Wen-Chi Chen
President
VIA Technologies, Inc.

"PC system memory can play a vital role in running multithreaded operating systems on high speed CPUs by providing high bandwidth and minimum latency. ALi's Aladdin III chipset, launched at fall COMDEX '95, provides a very complete high speed SDRAM design solution that takes into account the cost performance of motherboard designs, ECC options and the number of memory banks."

John Cheng
Director of Sales & Marketing Division
Acer Laboratories Inc.

"SDRAM is becoming the high speed memory to satisfy the bandwidth requirements of ever increasing processor clock rates. OPTi's solid experience in the core logic chipset business makes it well prepared to provide PC manufacturers a smooth transition from OPTi's current products for EDO DRAMs to the new Viper UMA core logic chipset for SDRAMs."

Prem Talreja
Director of Marketing, Core Logic Chipsets
OPTi Inc.

"UMC's current 586 desktop & notebook chipsets, such as 8890C, 8890CN, are VUMA (VESA Unified Memory Architecture) compliant products supporting JEDEC standard SDRAMs in order to achieve the memory bandwidths required by the future high performance and cost effective PC systems."
