Tyan Announces Latest Platform for Pentium 4 Processor -- Tyan Trinity i845 Supports Next-Generation Intel Processor, SDRAM, 4X AGP And More.Business Editors/High Tech Writers FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 10, 2001 Tyan(R) Computer Corporation today announced that it has initiated sampling of it's first platform for the latest Intel Pentium 4 processor. The Trinity i845 utilizes Intel's latest chipset technology to bring Pentium 4-based performance to the masses through support for cost-effective Synchronous Dynamic RAM The most common type of computer memory. Dynamic RAM (DRAM, D-RAM) chips are very dense because they use only one transistor and one storage capacitor for each bit. Unlike non-volatile firmware chips (ROM, EEPROM, flash, etc. (SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) A type of dynamic RAM (DRAM) memory chip that has been widely used since the late 1990s. SDRAM chips eliminated wait states by dividing the chip into two cell blocks and interleaving data between them. ). Tyan, a leading designer and manufacturer of Internet infrastructure products and system board solutions, is one of a handful of system board suppliers manufacturing platforms for Intel's latest Socket 478 design. This new processor socket supports Intel's next-generation processors based on the Pentium 4 processor core. Utilizing the new Intel 845 chipset, the Trinity i845 brings cost-effective memory support to the Pentium 4 platform. This chipset supports the widely used and extremely affordable SDRAM, bringing the power of the Pentium 4 processor to the masses. In addition, the Trinity i845 features a 4x AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) A high-speed 32-bit port from Intel for attaching a display adapter to a PC. It provides a direct connection between the card and memory, and only one AGP slot is on the motherboard. slot, six PCI slots and supports both ATA-100 drives and USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. peripherals. Intel's 845 chipset utilizes innovative Memory Controller Hub (MCH See Intel Hub Architecture. ) architecture enhancements such as wider data paths, a write cache and flexible memory refresh Memory refresh is the process of periodically reading information from an area of computer memory, and immediately rewriting the read information to the same area with no modifications. Each memory refresh cycle refreshes a succeeding area of memory. technology to enable optimum PC133 SDRAM performance. Further, the i845 also supports the latest graphics cards through a 1.5-volt 4x AGP interface, enabling up to 1GB/sec of graphics bandwidth. "Designed for the latest Pentium 4 processors from Intel, our new Trinity i845 provides leading-edge processor performance, while incorporating support for widely available, cost-effective SDRAM," stated Danny Hsu, Director of Strategic Marketing at Tyan. "The Trinity i845 provides exceptional value to users looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. breakthrough processor performance and proven memory support." The Trinity i845 is currently available in sample quantities. Tyan expects volume production to begin in early Q4 2001.
