    AMD 690 Chipset Review

    Posted on Wednesday, February 28 2007 @ 19:42:34 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck


    By my watch, AMD's last new chipset launch was in the middle of 2003 for the original Opteron platform release. AMD had at that point decided to focus on processors only and left the chipset market to its partners of VIA, NVIDIA, ATI, SiS and ULi. Since then, SiS and ULi have fallen to the bottom of the pack with VIA basically leaving the high end market and focusing only on the integrated video platforms. When ATI was purchased by AMD last year, we all knew that one of the main goals to was to offer a "complete solution" like Intel has with the Centrino platform. That will come later, but for now, AMD is able to offer their first product release from the new combined company in the form of a budget integrated-video chipset for their own AM2 platform.
