**82C556M/7M/8E Viper-N+ Viper Notebook Chipset c:96
***Notes:...
***Info:
The OPTi Viper-N+ chipset is the leading solution for PCI-based mobile
applications. Viper-N+ features leading edge power management
capability and flexibility for Intel Pentium 75/90/100/120 and Cyrix
6x86 processor based notebooks. The chipset incorporates desktop-like
performance features such as L1 and L2 cache support, a full 64-bit
DRAM controller and an integrated PCI controller, in a highly
integrated three chip set.
In terms of advanced power management, no chipset offers a more
effective, comprehensive or flexible feature set, allowing for maximum
performance with minimum power consumption for extended battery
life. In fact, for typical applications, Viper-N+'s power management
unit reduces power consumption by as much as 80%.
Viper-N+ offers the highest level of system integration, enabling the
lowest system cost and real estate requirement for Pentium-PCI
notebooks. A system without TTL is achievable with synchronous cache.
And, PCI offers easy upgradability to emerging standard interfaces,
such as PCMCIA/CardBus and PCI docking stations. Viper-N+ also
features an integrated local bus IDE controller to avoid ISA data bus
bottlenecks.
OPTi coupled its expertise in mobile technology and PCI-based design
to create its second generation 64-bit CPU mobile chipset. The result
is Viper-N+, enabling the highest levels of performance, system
integration and power management capability available for Pentium
PCI-based mobile systems.
