ALI announces P4 chipset support

This chipset supports the 533MHz front side bus, DDR 400 memory, and AGP8X, the firm said.

ALI, like SIS and ATI, has a Pentium 4 licence.

The chipset also uses the M1563 Hypertransport data link bus, and claims that gives a transfer rate of 1.6GB/s. The chipset also supports USB 2.0, six PCI masters, 10/100 Ethernet, AC97, flash media interfaces, and two Ultra 100/133 IDE master control channels.

And ALI also appears to have won a major design win for the Toshiba Portege 3500 and 2000 Tablet PCs, Digitimes reports.

These Tosh products will use the Cyber Aladdin-T integrated chipset, a combo of the Aladdin Pro 5 north bridge and Trident's Cyberblade graphics core.
