SiS 648 performance review

Quote

In terms of performance, SiS648 at DDR400 has manage to edge out Intel 850E with PC1066 RDRAM slightly although DDR400 theoretical bandwidth is lower than PC1066 RDRAM. However, one should note that the choice of memory is important too and not all DDR333 SDRAM out there can run at DDR400 stable and the memory timings set will certainly affect the stability as well as the performance. We can safely conclude here that SiS648 at DDR400 is performing as well as Intel 850E w/ PC1066 therefore it can too stand a good chance in the high performance desktop market segment. SiS648 at DDR333 is performing as good as Intel 845G too and its lower price will be make it an attractive platform to get. From now on, we should be seeing retail boards from motherboard manufacturers and the price, features and overclockability of those boards will determine how successful SiS648 chipset can capture the market.
