SiS 300
Encyclopedia
The SiS 300/SiS 301 is a graphics processing unit
that was manufactured by Silicon Integrated Systems
. This GPU, targeted mainstream commercial and consumer markets.
in 1998, SiS introduced the SiS 300 as its replacement. The 3D performance was improved 5 times over the previous GPU, although still considered slow, yet a value solution as a display chip for users that don't use 3D intensive applications.
The SiS 301 was a companion chip that enabled support to TV and digital flat panel monitor.
The SiS 300 was manufactured in a 250 nm process and packaged in a 365 pin PBGA. The SiS 301 was packaged in a 100 pin TQFP.
