AMD 890GX Chipset Overview


Mon 2010-03-22 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan
iXBT Labs have posted a brief, yet complete look at AMD's newest 890GX chipset.

Here's what they had to say:

"The AMD 890GX chipset is obviously an evolutional solution called to put company's product line in order and introduce the new Southbridge. We shall examine how it performs in real life, with and without the recommended discrete graphics card. One thing that is clear already is that AMD isn't going to compete with itself in terms of integrated graphics performance this time. Of course, we're still waiting when an integrated graphics core will let us play modern dynamic games with at least moderate settings at the native resolution of a typical 20-inch monitor. We'll probably have to wait for newer graphics cores, sharing the same dies with CPU cores. Though it depends on game developers as well."


While the 890GX's integrated GPU is just an overclocked version of the one in the 785G, the new SB850 southbridge is a worthwhile improvement & addition to this chipset.
