As we said AMD company does not intend any more to develop chipsets ATI for intel platform and the last one will become the discrete chipset RD600 and integrated chipset RS600. Honestly speaking, the majority of worshippers ATI even lost hope on the release of any new chipsets for intel platform and in RD600 was located only one supporter from many number motherboard producers : DFI company .
However, according to associates, AMD company will release new integrated of chipset for intel platform , which in the series version was called Radeon xpress 1250 for intel. As it is possible to understand, this will be the renamed chipset RS600. More precisely saying, this is the entire chipsets family , which can be extendend also to the mobile segment. Furthermore, not each desktop chipset version support the complete frequency spectrum of system bus - for example, the support of 1066 MHz system bus will be accessible not in all modifications.
The fundamental characteristics of chipsets series radeon xpress 1250 for intel are :
- Support processors intel core 2 Duo, Core 2 Extreme, Intel Pentium 4, Pentium D, Pentium extreme edition, Celeron, and Celeron D processors.
- Support processors with system bus frequency 533 MHz, 800 MHz and 1066 MHz.
- Support up to 16Gb dual-channel memory of type DDR 2-400/533/667/800.
- From 16 ppm 512mb system memory , are separated for the needs of graphic core.
- One slot PCI express of x16.
- To six slots PCI express x1.
- To six slots PCI 2.3.
- Graphic core with directX 9.0 support (Vertex shader 2.0 and Pixel shader 2.0).
- Support HDMI, HDCP, MPEG-2, H.264, WMV9, DVI and function surroundView.
- Dynamic decrease of some lines in interface PCI express for power savings.
- Support to four ports SATA-300 and NCQ.
- Ten ports USB 2.0.
- One port PATA-133.
If we consider that chipset RD600 has not obtained the wide support from the side of motherboard producers due to the uncertainty of situation , integrated chipset ATI radeon xpress 1250 and its modifications will hope only for the so-called effect Windows vista, which will force buyers to go with new graphical solutions with directX 9.0 support.
