ULi Unveils World's 1st TGi Chipset; M1695 Redefines Power, Performance, and Flexibility for AMD Athlon 64 Chipset.TAIPEI, Taiwan -- ULi Electronics Inc. (ULi) unveils M1695 north bridge -- the latest low power and high performance HyperTransport(TM) PCI Express A high-speed peripheral interconnect from Intel introduced in 2002. Note that although sometimes abbreviated "PCX," PCI Express is not the same as "PCI-X" (see PCI-SIG and PCI-X for comparison). As a result of the confusion, "PCI-E" or "PCIe" is the accepted abbreviation. (TM) tunnel chipset A group of chips designed to work as a unit to perform a function. For example, a modem chipset contains all the primary circuits for transmitting and receiving. A PC chipset provides the electronic interfaces between all subsystems (see PC chipset for illustration). for all the Athlon(TM) 64 based processors including Socket 754, 940 and 939 CPUs. ULi is at the forefront of delivering yet another world's first and high performance M1695 chipset solution which supports TGi:(Triple Graphics Interface) simultaneous PCI Express x16, 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. 8X, PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). graphics interfaces. ULi's M1695 is designed to support extensive range of applications including the mainstream desktop and mobile PCs, high performance workstation, and high reliability servers. M1695's innovative HyperTransport tunnel architecture integrates non-blocking symmetrical HyperTransport(TM) 2.0 links which enables motherboard manufacturers and system integrators to pair up M1695 with other high performance HyperTransport-based chipsets and bridge devices either natively or via the HTX HTX HyperTransport (high speed low latency chip to chip interlink) HTX Højere Teknisk Eksamen (Danish Technical College) HTX Hungarian Traded Index HTX Hemothorax HTX human tumor xenograft (TM) connector. When coupled with ULi's M1567 south bridge, the combination offers motherboard manufacturers the unprecedented capability to support PCI Express x16, AGP 8X, PCI graphics cards simultaneously on the same mainboard Same as motherboard. . Such capability makes it possible to create a fully surrounding virtual reality environment using multiple high resolution displays driven by the three graphics technologies residing in the same computer system. With both the upstream and the downstream HyperTransport links each running at 4 GT/sec and beyond, optimum performance are ensured between M1695 and the connecting CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. as well as with other HyperTransport devices. M1695 features a bi-directional PCI Express x16 link (4 GBytes/sec peak bandwidth per direction) that is configurable as two x8 links to sustain the ever demanding 3D graphics requirement for high resolution. M1695 provides additional PCI Express links in either 2 x1 or 1 x4 (or x1 or x2) configuration to support high-speed I/O devices See peripheral. such as network controllers and storage controllers. "M1695 offers an amazingly flexible and scalable array of interconnects that can effortlessly transport multimedia data across the HyperTransport and PCI Express interfaces," said Alex Kuo Since receiving a B.A. from Knox College (studied with Sam Moon & Gogisi) and M.F.A. from the University of Iowa (studied with Donald Justice & Philip Roth) in the early 1960s, more than three hundred-and-fifty of his poems, short stories, photographs and essays have appeared in magazines , President of ULi. "The versatility of M1695 enables system manufacturers to build powerful PC systems with ease and at reasonably low cost." "As the market begins a widespread transition to PCI Express, we make sure that our customers will be able to enjoy a smooth upgrade path from their current AGP to PCI Express graphics cards," said Jerry Chou, General Manager of ASUStek Desktop Business Unit. "ULi's M1695 chipset not only enables us to build motherboards which embraces these attributes, but it also offer greater design flexibility which saves us time and effort."
