Associates told us today about TDP level of this chipset. As is known, it will be released on 65 nm technology; therefore with chipset voltage 1.1 v , TDP level will not exceed 15 W. Ultra low energy requirement for high end chipset. !!!!
In order to leave some overclock reserve , AMD recommends to place on chipset RD790 an active cooler, whose is presented in the picture above . It is pleasant that high-end chipset class sometimes can gladden owners by the low heat emission level . It is expected that the announcement of chipset RD790 will takes place in the second-half of this year.
