AMD 700 chipset series

The AMD 700 chipset series (also called as AMD 7-Series Chipsets) is a set of upcoming chipsets designed by ATI to be sold under the AMD brand and is scheduled to launch between the end of 2007 to the first half of 2008.


The existence of the chipsets was proved on October 2006 through two hardware websites in Chile ^{[1] [2]} and Spain ^[3] which posted the leaked slides of an ATI internal event, "ATI chipset update". In the slides, ATI have shown a series of RD700 series chipset logics. Codenamed RD790, RX790, RS780 and RS740 respectively. A codenamed SB700 southbridge was also mentioned in the event. The 790X (codenamed RD780) chipset was spotted in Computex 2007, exhibited by ASUS ^[4], while the SB750 southbridge was reported by VR-Zone
