PC system chipsets, PC controller chips
(The mother company Acer makes computers. It also makes components like motherboards, PC cases and CD-ROM drives under the brand name Aopen.)
In 1987, while the personal computer industry was blossoming worldwide, a group of computer technologists envisioned the critical role ASIC development would play in this emerging market. They formed a team dedicated to bringing their individual expertise in IC development, design, application and service to the PC industry. This was the beginning of Acer Laboratories Inc.
Through well over a decade as a major player in the PC market, ALi has pursued its goal of bringing value to PC system and motherboard manufacturers. ALi has successfully developed a talented and resourceful infrastructure to support complete product lines, highly efficient and flexible production, real-time customer service, and continuous technology integration. ALi has created innovative leading products including the first industry standard Super I/O controller, the first RISC based PC system chip set, the first 100MHz Socket 7 chipset and the first complete DVD solution. Multiple best-product awards have been awarded to the company, along with significant patents and software copyright registrations. In fact, throughout its years of dedication to the PC industry, ALi has developed one of the industry's richest PC-related Intellectual Property (IP) collections covering system, peripheral and multimedia devices.
