AMD Launches New 690G and 690V Chipsets

Published by

AMD will finally launch its long-awaited 690-series chipset-family tomorrow. Two variants will spearhead the release: the RS690-based mainstream AMD 690G with ATI Radeon X1250 graphics, and the RS690C-based value AMD 690V with ATI Radeon X1200 graphics.
AMD?s 690-family hit plenty of snags along its development cycle. Early roadmaps showed a 2H?2006 launch, however, AMD kept pushing the launch back. Motherboard vendors blamed the delayed launch on AMD for multiple delays with the RS690. AMD?s discrete RX690 variant that was to launch in the same timeframe as RS690 has yet to make an appearance.
