We already reported About the interesting functions in chipsets AMD RD790/RD780/RX780 , Let us recall, that such board will appear already in the current autumn.
As it is explained, the BIOS of those motherboard will contain the autoXpress function , which automatically increases the frequency of system bus PCI express, which must increase the graphic system performance , in particular, in crossFire regime . In this case the chipset will activate this function only when video card AMD/ATI are used beginning from those, which are built on base of GPU ( from R580+ ).
One additional special feature is the function xpressRoute, which allow to accelerate the system bus data transmission with processors which support HyperTransport 1.0 (let us recall, that this chipset support HT 3.0). The function memBoost will allow to minimize the DDR 2-800 latency .
Thus, AMD is not intended to completely reject the development of K8 platform .
