Lansiranje i predstavljanje AMD 800 serije čipseta

VR-Zone has put together a roadmap of the AMD 800 series chipsets line-up slated for release in Q2 next year. AMD 890FX/GX + SB850, part of the "Leo" platform for enthusiasts is slated for launch in April 2010 replacing the current AMD 790FX/GX + SB750 chipset. AMD 880G + SB810, part of the "Dorado" mainstream platform will come along in May 2010 replacing the current AMD 785G + SB710 chipset. AMD 880G comes with enhanced IGP graphics performance which we presume is DX11 capable and sports the next generation ATi Hybrid graphics technology. Overall, the AMD 880G board could be priced cheaper due to the integrated clock generator and integrated Broadcom MAC.

With virtual desktops becoming more commonplace, the need is growing to support richer graphic environments that have not been easily served by traditional server hosted clients methodologies. This proof of concept demo shows how direct device assignment for a graphics card could help support demanding graphics applications like computer aided design (CAD) and digital content creation (DCC). Please note that the upcoming AMD OpteronTM 6100 Series processors, code-named Magny-Cours referenced below, are scheduled to be launched in the first quarter of 2010.

The demo runs on an AMD engineering development system featuring two twelve-core AMD OpteronTM 6100 Series processors, an upcoming AMD SR5690 chipset and an ATi FireProTM professional graphics card. This system is executing 3DMark06 or “Toy Store”/”Code Zero” from within a virtual machine running on VMware ESX 4.0. The demo compares graphics performance with and without direct device mapping and utilizes AMD I/O virtualization technology for the graphics passthru. Support for AMD I/O virtualization technology is offered experimentally with VMware ESX 4.0.
