OC3D Article: New AMD Release first chipset - AMD 690V/G

[FarFarAway]

We went along to a press conference hosted by AMD in the fine town of London to see what the CPU-making chaps in Green have been doing tucked away with the GPU-making chaps in Red. Chipsets and graphics ensue

Take a read

 

[NickS]

Very cool

 

[Mr. Smith]

Wow! Impressive

 

[deathwish]

those would make a nice Home theater system

 

[JN]

Nice read Kemp and good to see a very viable HTPC chipset.

 

[FarFarAway]

Agreed. I've got an Intel varient sitting on my (massive) "to do" pile so we should see how the little beauties perform

 

[Toxcity]

Intresting stuff!

At first I really didn't think AMD + ATi awas gunna work(don't ask why)... I have been truely proved wrong.

Kempez, I am looking forward to seeing the outcome of the intel side..

"AMD's First chipset"

I don't think so :nono:

You disappoint me young Jedi

 

[FarFarAway]

That's what the slides said from the conference, so that's what was put my young aprentice

 

[BUFF]

Guess that they've forgotten about 760 ...

(& RD600)

 

[FarFarAway]

Well RD600 was an ATI part for sure

I changed the title just for you

 

[PP Mguire]

Hmm click on AMD and a whole line of CPUs, Mobos, and Video cards will come up. Sounds cool.

 

[BUFF]

Well RD600 was an ATI part for sure

As 690 surely is too - but both have been released whilst under AMD ownership.

I'll give then that it's their first chipset with integrated gfx though.

 

[Phnom_Penh]

Now they just need to produce a cpu worth having to go with it .

 

[PP Mguire]

Lol pwnt.

It's the first AMD chipset under the new AMD (ATI and AMD). RD600 was an ATI chipset and the enthusiast AMD variant is going to be called something else.

Now they just need to produce a cpu worth having to go with it .

I have a feeling we'll be seeing some cool stuff by the end of this year

Always the same problem with me, look at upgrading and something new comes out, faster, better, and so on, but this looks as though it will be worth the wait.
