AMD Hudson chipset to deliver USB 3.0 support

Posted on Friday, June 25 2010 @ 17:53 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck
FUD Zilla reports AMD will integrate USB 3.0 support into one of its Hudson chipsets for the Fusion processors:
There will be two different versions of AMD's Hudson chipset, the chipset of choice for Fusion APUs. They should talk to Llano or similar APUs and only the top one will have USB 3.0 support.

The others, we heard of two different southbridge chips, will have many USB 2.0 ports, but that is just about it. No USB 3.0 for the cheaper fusion that fits Brazos. Remember, the first Fusion that aims for Brazos platform is replacing Dorado / Kodiak Athlon II based CPUs in mainstream market.

Apparently they got the memo that a once in ten year and 10x improvement in the #1 communications bus was more important than pci-e 3.0.

Good job AMD!
