Chipset

The first product since AMD's much talked about, $5.4 billion ATI acquisition last year, has been unveiled.

At an event in San Francisco yesterday, AMD announced its new 690 chipset, calling it the company's first hardware platform to feature an ATI graphics processor integrated into its chipset for Athlon 64 processors.

The AMD 690 chipset incorporates an ATI Radeon X1250 graphics processor to enable demanding graphics in Vista's Aero UI (user interface) like 3D application switching.
