Sis m672 Data Sheet
Overview
The SiSM672, supporting Intel Core2 Duo, Pentium D, and Pentium 4 series processors, features a
PCI Express x16 Bridge, flexible Single-Channel DDR2-667 Memory controller, Mirage 3+ graphic engine,
and SiS MuTIOL Technology, which connects with the SiS968 MuTIOL Media I/O.
The advanced Mirage3+ graphics engine, combining with Pixel Shader 2.0, Texture Pipelines, Texture
Filtering and Cubic Mapping technologies, enables the SiSM672 integrated chipsets to deliver excellent
graphics performances under 2D and 3D conditions. With support of SiS Real Video Technology, the image
quality and definition of digital entertainment devices, such as TV, VCD, and DVD can be presented perfectly
and thoroughly under Windows Vista Premium Edition.
Pairing with the SiSM672 Northbridge chipset, the SiS968 Southbridge chipset has several unique features. It
has been designed to focus on reducing the power-consumption. Therefore, it is able to actively adjust the
power consumption of peripheral. With such an advanced technology, the SiS968 Southbridge chipset can
save up to 50% of power for the system. Besides, the SiS968 Southbridge chipset is integrated with SiS
proprietary MuTIOL 1G technology to connect with the SiSM672 speedily. It supports 2 PCI Express
interfaces, and 2 SATA 3G ports which allows up to 300MB/s of data transmission. Also, the SiS968
Southbridge supports 8 USB2.0 ports, which perfectly meets the requirement of connecting more and more
1/5
devices. Moreover, it supports the most advanced 8-channel High-Definition Audio surround sound to provide
better sound effects, and supports Gigabit Ethernet to have faster internet access.
