AMD today announced the release of their latest IGP chipset the 790GX. This comes of the success of their 780G chipset widely acclaimed to be the best integrated graphics chipset on the market. So the 790GX has a lot to live up to.
The 790GX is clocked higher than the 780G, features a new Southbridge and power saving techniques used in the Puma laptop line. The 790 series boards will also feature at least 2 PCIe2 (Crossfire) slots where as the 780G has just one.
3dMark scores of around 2000-2500 are expected from the IGP, this doesnt sound much compared to a discrete graphics card but, when compared to other similar IGPs used on integrated motherboards it shows a 4X increase.
This is again a big plus for the consumer when integrated graphics platforms make up some 90% of the systems bought at retail in the U.S. by consumers, according to NPD.
