RD890/RS880/SB800

[Firestrider]

The most I've found about the upcoming 800-series chipsets from AMD are in the pictures below.

Does anyone have any more information on this, particularly relating to the northbridge? Will these be manufactured on the 40 nm process?

great find thank you :

found this link, goes to XS RD8890/SB800 - Hydra Engine

So these chipsets will allow multiple GPUs of different vendors, and types with this: http://www.lucidlogix.com/files/hydra_100_product_brief.pdf? Would be nice to be able to put different family ATI cards together.

I'm not sure exactly what the integrated clock and "DASH compliant" embedded controller do, anyone got any information on this?

One thing that should be noted is that while Hydra could support both ATI and Nvidia cards at the same time, we won't be able to mix and match due to driver issues that would occur in XP/Vista. I don't know if this would affect linux though. However, I'm sure a workaround could be reached if Hydra takes off (which I truly hope it does!)

Hopeflully Windows 7 will fix that.

any updates on when these should be out

 

[Dapman02]

anymore updates available?

 

[MadMan007]

Yeah what's up with this schedule? None of the Computex (p)reviews mentioned any announcements for boards based on these chipsets.

 

[Zurvan]

There were lots of boards based on 785G at computex.
(I believe 785G = RS880 )

RD890/880D are more likely to come in Q4

Finally got some word on this, check it out here: http://translate.google.com.au/tran....hkepc.com/3243&sl=zh-CN&tl=en&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

IIRC, we are now in Q3 on 2009 and I still don't have one of these in my computer! I would like these new chipsets out before I upgrade my board or I will be using a 790fx + SB750 for a while.

Same here

The link I put up two months ago said mass production of the chipsets in Nov '09 and launch in Jan '10.

Pshaw. Link Shmink!
