AMD releases 890GX chipset

Components manufacturer AMD today announced the release of its new AMD 890GX chipset featuring integrated HD4290 graphics.

The AMD 890GX chipset supports the SATA 3.0 6Gbps hard drive interface to help speed application performance, decrease boot times, and provide faster access to information, HD video, photos and more. 

SATA 3.0 technology on the AMD 890GX chipset can help speed application performance and Windows 7 data access speeds with high-bandwidth SATA 3.0 solid state drives and in multi-drive RAID configurations. 

Many AMD 890GX-based motherboards feature SuperSpeed USB 3.0, quickly synchronising and transferring digital media files on the new generation of USB 3.0 devices. With USB 3.0 and SATA 3.0 support, these platforms are designed to be ready for a new generation of devices. 

The AMD 890GX chipset also includes support for Gigabit Ethernet, HyperTransport 3.0 technology, and PCI Express Generation 2.0 to create a system designed to provide faster data flow.  

This is the first of the AMD 8-series chipsets.  These technologies serve as the foundation for 2010 VISION technology for AMD desktop platforms that are scheduled to be announced in the second quarter of 2010 and are designed to be compatible with the upcoming AMD Phenom II X6 six-core processor.
