SiS' revenue up 4.74% in September, departs from chipset business
Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) disclosed its financial information for September, showing revenue of NT$462 million ($14.4 million). A monthly high for the company during 2009, its September revenue marked a 4.74% increase from the prior month and 4.84% year-over-year. SiS' revenue hit NT$1.34 billion in the third quarter -- a 23.75% sequential growth. The company's first three quarters totaled NT$2.91 billion, which is down 39.34% from last year.
SiS' PC chipset business accounts for some 65% of its revenue, with about 60% company from the notebook market and 5% from desktops. Representing about 30% of the company's revenue is its Xbox chipset business, with shipments spurting some 30% sequentially in the third quarter -- though, that growth is expected to drop off in the fourth quarter.
Recognizing the inevitable impact from Intel's move to one chip solutions -- which SiS expects to be the standard late next year -- the company has turned its focus to touchscreen controllers and USB 3.0 IC development.

time. We grew up on their astounding work... so good, you
almost never notice that it is SiS. Too bad they get repaid in this way. I would trust anything they do in this new venture. |
| Didou on October 10, 2009 3:27 AM | It's a shame that we will have less choices when it comes to
chipsets but to be honest, I've never taken a look at a SiS
or Via chipset in years (not even nVidia for that matter).
Uli was quite nice at one point but got bought off by nVidia
& they disappeared for good. Even before the "fusion" of CPU & chipset, people are already buying Intel chipsets for Intel CPUs & the same happens on the AMD side. :-/ |

| windmill007 on October 10, 2009 9:26 AM | ahh we use to build some very cheap computers with sis. Great for the bottom line. Would I use them in my own PC nooo but for someone wanting super cheap I would choose sis over some no name brand. |
