IDT Winchip C6
The IDT WinChip C6 offers
competitive performance to Pentium with MMX technology, AMD-K6, and Cyrix 6x86MX
microprocessors running Windows 95 business applications.
IDT WinChip C6 power dissipation
is much lower than other Socket 7 processors with MMX Technology, making it suitable for
mobile systems and the rapidly growing sub-$1,000 PC product category.
It is important to note that the
IDT WinChip C6 power dissipation advantage is achieved while operating at 3.3 or
3.52 volts where other microprocessors require dual voltage operation. Thus, the
IDT WinChip C6 is expected to offer even lower power dissipation in the future
with dual voltage support.
Centaur Technology has extensively tested
the IDT WinChip C6 processor with x86 operating systems such as DOS, Windows
3.1, Windows 95, Windows NT, OS/2, Linux and a large number of software applications. In
addition, many third-party motherboards, and chipsets from ALI, VIA, SIS, and Intel have
been tested to ensure compatibility. BIOS support is also available from Award, AMI, and
SystemSoft. IDT WinChip C6 third-party verification includes Microsoft Certified
Compatibility with Windows 95 and XXCAL Platinum Certification.
The IDT WinChip C6 is a plug compatible processor to Pentium with MMX Technology
and is offered in a 296-pin grid array, Socket 7 compliant ceramic package (CPGA).
IDT WinChip C6 leverages the established and low cost Socket 7 motherboard
infrastructure.
At only 88mm 2 in size, the IDT WinChip C6 processor is between 30
and 60 percent smaller than comparable Socket 7 processors with MMX Technology. The
combination of small die size coupled with a simplified CMOS process allows IDT to
manufacture the WinChip C6 very efficiently and at a low cost.
