We have exclusive information on ATI's upcoming RD600 CrossFire Xpress 3200 IE chipset for Conroe ? Overclocking anyone?
Last week from a top secret hidden bunker located miles under ground here in Taipei, Taiwan, we were given full and uninterrupted access to a motherboard based on ATI?s upcoming RD600 + SB600 platform for Intel Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme processors.
RD600?s marketing product name will be ?CrossFire Xpress 3200 Intel Edition? (or ?IE? for short). RD600 from its inception was designed to be something really special to come from the ATI chipset boys in Canada ? a chipset designed for real hardcore overclockers and gamers wanting the best performance available today ? or at least sometime in September of this year, when retail boards will due to be shipping around the world.
During our time spent with the motherboards and friendly chaps who know quite a bit on how this kind of gear works, we were able to learn a lot about RD600, quizzing them with as many questions as we could think of at the time.
Over the next few pages you?ll be able to learn exclusive first hand information about RD600 including benchmark numbers, spicy overclocking information along with other features of the chipset ATI is hoping will become one of the number one gaming platforms for the Intel processor platform.
