VIA Intel chipseti
The
PT960 and
PM960 are designed with Intel’s Core 2 architecture in mind,
supporting front-side-bus speeds up to 1333 MHz. Intel expects to launch its 1333 MHz front-side-bus Core 2 Duo E6x50-series processors later this year. Expect motherboards based on the PT960 and PM960 to arrive in 2008.
- The VIA PT960 will be a discrete north bridge and rely on PCIe graphics cards. VIA's PT960 will be compliant with the PCIe 2.0 specification. There will be support for one PCIe 2.0 x16 and four PCIe 2.0 x1 slots. VIA’ PT960 only has a single-channel memory controller. Nevertheless, the memory controller supports DDR2-1066 and DDR3-1333 MHz memory.
- PM960 sports a revised graphics core. The new integrated graphics core is dubbed S3 Chrome 9 HD and upgrades the video processing engine of the P4M900. New video processing features include hardware decoding acceleration for MPEG4, WMV9, VC1 and H.264 video formats. VIA has integrated the TV encoder, DVI and HDMI output functions into the graphics core.

CrossFire can also be activated and works on the Intel G965 chipset.
Jetway 965GDAG works in a Dual 4x mode in CrossFire when a pair of X1600XT or X1300Pro is attached to the two PCIe slots. Looks like, we have a very interesting board here. Not only does it support CrossFire, its integrated GMA X3000 is also quite speedy. We are also expecting newer drivers to enable the DX10 support of the G965 chipset.
