amd 690g-690v chipset

As it was planned, the official idea of two chipset , intended for the work with amd processors , took place in the last day of winter.
AMD 690G (for mass solutions) and 690V (for budget solutions) : the integrated chipsets with the built-in graphic core ATI radeon x1250 and X1200, respectively. Let us note that those chipset has a large history. In the plans of ATI these products was registered under names RS690 and RS690C and they were planned in 2006.

The built-in graphic core radeon x1250/x1200 is built on the base of discrete graphic GPU radeon x700. two Pixel and vertex processors . The clock frequency of the built-in graphic core - 400 MHz.

The excuted by AMD performance tests, using such integrated graphic core in the system with processor athlon 64 X2 5200+ and two gigas-byte memory DDR 2-667 collect from 1000 to 1200 points in the test of 3DMark05. In the games half life 2 performance will compose 30-35 frames per second, in Far cry - 35-40 Fps. All tests was with turned-off anti-AliASING and anisotropic filtration, and using resolution 1024 x 768 pixels.

The key difference between chipset are the possibilities of image conclusion . However, ATI radeon x1200 (AMD 690V) support only analog D -Sub and TV-out, in 690G the possibilities Of radeon x1250 are augmented by the support of DVI and HDMI (with HDCP).

The chipset of technology avivo designates the presence of hardware acceleration for high resolution video in format h.264 and VC-1, all required today for disk blu-ray and HD DVD.

The north bridge AMD 690G/690V producers has the interface PCIe x16 for the installation of discrete video card. This last will also answer for interfaces PCIe x1 and, this particularly interesting, for sound. Sound codec is build also the south bridge SB600, however, taking into account that the fact that the conclusion of sound is possible through the interface HDMI, producer solved, which is logical to decrease the load on system bus between the bridges.

Thus, on the new motherboard SB600 will answer only for 10 ports USB 2.0, four SATA, one channel PATA and system bus PCI.

It is at present known about the following products on the base of AMD 690G/690V, which are prepared by the producers:

Albatron: KI-690-AM2

MSI: K9AGM2
PC partner: RS690MKM-AB1S, RS690CMKM-A94L
Sapphire: PI-AM2RS690MHD, PE-AM2RS690M
Shuttle: XPC ST22G5, XPC ST23T

In retail sale of motherboard will appear from the following month on the price of approximately 80 dollars for the version with AMD 690G depending on concrete producer.
