VIA Launches ProSavageDDR PN266T, The First DDR266 Memory Based Mobile
Chipset For Intel® Pentium® III Processor-M based systems
VIA ProSavageDDR PN266T mobile chipset with DDR266 memory support delivers a
decisive performance improvement and extends battery life for Intel® and VIA
processor-based mobile platforms
Taipei, Taiwan, 23 January 2002 - VIA Technologies, Inc, a leading innovator
and developer of core logic chipsets, microprocessors, and multimedia,
networking and communications chips, today announced the launch of the VIA
ProSavageDDR PN266T (codename: Twister-T DDR) mobile chipset for mobile
Intel® Pentium® III Processor-M, Intel® Pentium® III, Intel® Celeron(tm) and
VIA C3(tm) processor-based notebook PCs.
The VIA ProSavageDDR PN266T is the first mobile chipset to support fast
DDR266 memory for Intel and VIA processor based systems, outperforming the
hugely popular VIA ProSavage PN133 (codename: Twister) PC133 based chipset,
and reducing power consumption through a 30% reduction in memory voltage.
The VIA ProSavageDDR PN266T also has S3 Graphics ProSavage8(tm) technology
with AGP 8X equivalent bandwidth integrated into the chipset North Bridge.
This delivers stunning video quality for key applications like DVD playback
while eliminating the need for a discrete graphics card, thus saving real
estate on the mainboard ensuring even lower power consumption in thin and
light notebook designs. ProSavage8(tm) is an enhanced version of the proven
ProSavage4(tm) core seen in the successful VIA ProSavage PN133 and shares
the same comprehensive driver set, enabling risk free market deployment for
OEMs and mobile system developers.
"The success of the VIA ProSavage PN133 has given VIA a significant share of
the integrated mobile chipset market," commented Ted Lee, Vice President of
Sales and Marketing, VIA Technologies, Inc. "The VIA ProSavageDDR PN266T
with DDR266 memory and ProSavage8 integrated graphics offers even more
performance and will help drive the acceptance of DDR memory in this high
growth segment"
"The combination of DDR memory and integrated graphics is a good fit for
mobile systems because it offers an appealing balance of performance, power
consumption and price," said Mike Feibus, Principal of Feibus Strategic
Consulting in Scottsdale, Arizona. "Integrated graphics chipsets are taking
a growing slice of the mobile market, and the emergence of DDR memory
support should accelerate this trend."
About VIA ProSavageDDR PN266T
Supporting DDR SDRAM, built-in high performance S3 Graphics ProSavage8(tm)
2D/3D engine with equivalent AGP 8X bandwidth, and a 133MHz front side bus,
the VIA ProSavageDDR PN266T is the fastest chipset for the Intel® Pentium®
III Processor-M, Intel® Pentium® III, Intel® Celeron(tm) and VIA C3(tm)
processor based mobile systems. Building on the success of the VIA ProSavage
PN133, the VIA ProSavageDDR PN266T has a full set of networking and
communication features with the exact specification depending on your choice
of VIA V-MAP 8233 Series South Bridge. As standard these include Integrated
2 Channel AC'97 Audio, Integrated MC'97 Modem, Support for ATA 33/66/100 and
6 USB ports. Options include an integrated 3Com® networking MAC. The VIA
ProSavageDDR PN266T also possesses important mobile attributes such as
integrated dual channel LVDS and support for Intel SpeedStep(tm) power
management.
Manufacturing & Availability
The VIA ProSavageDDR PN266T chipset is manufactured at TSMC in a .22 micron,
3 metal layer process, and is shipping in OEM quantities now. A photo and
product backgrounder is available upon request. Please contact VIA
