Realtek RTL8111E Single-Chip Gigabit Ethernet Controller Wins “Best Choice of COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2010 Award”

2010/05/26

HSINCHU, Taiwan – May 26, 2010 – One of the world’s leading IC design houses, Realtek Semiconductor Corp., today announced that its RTL8111E Single-Chip Gigabit Ethernet Controller has won a prestigious “Best Choice of COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2010 Award”; an award recognized and given by an evaluation committee comprised of experts from the industry, academia, media, and government. The innovative Realtek RTL8111E is the world’s first Single-chip Gigabit Ethernet Controller to implement the power-saving IEEE 802.3az standard (Energy Efficient Ethernet: EEE).

EEE defines a mechanism that allows the RTL8111E to enter a low power idle state. In this state, unnecessary TX/RX circuitry is turned off to reduce power consumption. The RTL8111E transparently returns to a Normal operating state when TX/RX operation is required. EEE reduces unnecessary waste of energy to achieve a more energy efficient Ethernet. During periods of low link utilization (no TX/RX), the whole chip power consumption can be reduced by around 80% (79mW as compared to 480mW without EEE). 

“Demand for environmentally-responsible products that are designed for power saving as well as high performance has increased significantly. Staying on the technology leading edge helps Realtek to design and develop competitive products to meet this growing demand”, said Realtek’s Executive Vice President Jessy Chen. “Our combination of complete feature set, high-performance, and eco-friendly power-saving features make Realtek the compelling choice for Gigabit Ethernet solutions”.
The RTL8111E will be exhibited at the Realtek booth, located in T201F at TICC (Taipei International Convention Center), COMPUTEX TAIPEI, June 1~5, alongside a full line of exciting products and solutions:

  • Dual-band Concurrent WLAN Controllers
  • EEE Switch Controllers
  • ADSL2+/IAD Chipsets
  • DTV Demodulators
  • High Fidelity PC Audio Codec with Active Noise Cancellation Headphone Support
  • USB Web Camera Controllers
  • Advanced Card Reader Controllers
  • Clock Generators for Wide Range of Chipsets
  • Low Power LCD Monitor Controllers
