AMD RD890 in Q2, even better overclocking coming
Written by Andreas G 29 December 2008 21:03

AMD will launch the AM3 platform in just a few months. AMD's first DDR3 platform will arrive in the first quarter. It is based on an updated RD790 chipset though, which means that the features are quite similar to those available found with the AM2+, especially since they use the same southbridge. The DDR3 support and new Phenom models, both quad and tri-cores, will be the main appeals at the launch. Later in Q2, AMD will unleash the real upgrade reason; RD890, paired with the new SB800 southbridge.

The RD890 will further build on the new and improved overclocking of AMD's processors and it is supposed to be an improvement over the RD790, which is still capable of bringing a Phenom II X4 945 higher then 6GHz. AMD will also bring Gigabyte Ethernet into the southbridge and support up to four graphics cards with 8x bandwidth each, or two cards with full 16x PCIe 2.0 bandwidth.

More USB and SATA ports, better and enhanced SATA support and speed, better power management, faster CPU-northbridge link, updated hardware monitor and many more things are to be expected when the RD890 chipset arrives in late Q2.
