NDA has nothing to do with elimination product hype ... in fact, the most hyping is done after the product has been released.

Exactly.

Sorry guys, I have to disagree. Does anyone remember the hype of Core 2 when someone let some benchmarks "slip" out? All of a sudden people who were considering buying Athlon 64s probably put off that purchasing decision to wait for Core 2. Hype is generated long before a product launches.

Since the Radeon HD 3450 became the Radeon HD 4200 IGP in the RS880 chipset, are we to assume that the RD890 chipsets will also have an IGP derived from the RV620 GPU or can we expect an RV710 based IGP?

From current record
eVGA don't bother release any "AMD Platform" plus they only release nVIDIA / Intel based chipset

But if they are going to release 890FX / nForce 980a "Classified"
That would be cool !!!

Now you are talking about a significant change in processor architecture, not at all comparable to 'just' an update of the 790GX chipset.

Opps , looks like someone from China bleach the AMD NDA

I actually had a short conversation with Sham about this at CES.

I was informed although nothing is/was confirmed that for Evga to make a 790 chipset based board was pointless as it was to late in the game.

What that means is they could possibly make an 890 board although this is just speculation.

**FatAlbert** · 02-20-2010, 12:22 PM

could be so sweet board

too bad, probably it won't happened

Thanks 4 the link

My fav. pic in all-

**tbone8ty** · 02-20-2010, 05:30 PM

IGP HD4290 so its an overclocked 790gx basically?

whatever im running a 785g mobo and the IGP runs pretty well.

six core support yum!

**Nedjo** · 02-20-2010, 05:41 PM

what I really love about ASUS mobo is that "unlock" of "latent" (love that therm coined by ASUS) cores! Just one flip, and my "triple-five" turned in B55

and after usual overvolting @ 1.5V it was happily churning @ 4GHz

As I getting older more and more I appreciate this "overclocking for dummies" approach from mobo vendors! I've got exhausted in youth days with nF4 LP, and now I need switches, dials and easy BIOS!

I guess I can wait for it

Another testing leak from China
http://tech.mop.com/yj/zb/2010/0126/2040298380.shtml
It did included one game "Bio Hazard 5" and one 3DMark06

No. By 'late in the game' he meant the whole AM2/2+/3 socket platform. Last time I spoke with Shamino, he said that maybe they will do something when a complete new architecture + compete new platform is launched. So, new socket, new CPUs, new architecture, etc.

It makes sense really, Sham would have to build an AM3 from scratch whereas all other manufacturers have years of experience with this socket/architecture.

**Chrono Detector** · 02-21-2010, 05:35 AM

I wish we could see more 890FX boards, especially from Gigabyte. Looking forward to that the most.

That board looks pretty nice.

**FlanK3r** · 02-21-2010, 06:21 AM

yes, i dont seen 890FX boards , without MSI 890 GD70....Where is it?

**Zeus** · 02-21-2010, 06:44 AM

What's the big deal with these 890 boards? Sata 3.0 and usb 3.0 but what about cpu/memory performance? What about 3D? Is it better than 790 chipset?

**FlanK3r** · 02-21-2010, 07:22 AM

think some CPU performance and maybe some new for sixcorres?

**blindbox** · 02-21-2010, 09:23 AM

So, no ACC then, from what the leaked slides indicate?

yah I was kinda hoping a 6 core would be enough but i guess it's bulldozer or bust then.

Yea, he and Joe told me the same thing at CES. No EVGA boards for current gen AMD. And honestly, I would be surprised to see them in the first batch of bulldozer. I think they will really need to have their arms twisted to consider making the investment. Budgets are tight.

**Dumo** · 02-21-2010, 11:06 AM

EVGA executed well. rather than being middle of the road board designer with broad horizontal platform products, they focus on what they do best....Intel board

**tbone8ty** · 02-21-2010, 12:02 PM

maybe XFX could jump in and do a motherboard, haha with double life warranty hehe :p

**FatAlbert** · 02-21-2010, 12:18 PM

XFX always used referent boards, like Zotac. For example board on 790i or 680i
