ATI will target AMD's Socket AM2+ interconnect with its RD790 chipset - a part with the abiility to host four graphics cards, allegedly leaked company roadmap slides reveal.

Socket AM2+ is expected to debut in Q3 2007 so support the HyperTransport 3.0 bus AMD's K8L 65nm dual- and quad-core processors. The ATI slides, posted by Spanish-language site ChileHardware.com, claim the graphics chip company that's soon to be AMD's GPU division will support AM2+ with four chipsets: running from bottom to top, the RS740, RS790, RX790 and RD790.

Meh...I'm kinda saddened since I like ATI and Intel @ the moment. SO most likely I'll buy 8800GTX SLI with the P5N3-SLI

Same boat here, but I like Nvidia and AMD.

oh, woe, are we.

nForce are the best chipsets out there. Period.

omg! omg!

could you imagine a quad-core intel cpu with a quad-core gpu!?!

*faints

safe to say that a 1 kw PSU is a must for a quad cpu + gpu system?

i think it would be funny to be able to remove and replace the gpu , upgrading the gpu like a cpu.

haha hey i've seen a card like that, i think its from MSi, where you can upgrade only the memory chips and core
