ATi RD400 Chipset Slated For May Launch?

Sources revealed that ATi is planning to launch their RD400 chipset next month to compete against NVIDIA nForce4 SLI Intel Edition chipset. ATI RD400 is going to paired up with ULi M1573 southbridge that supports Pentium 4, Pentium D and Pentium Extreme Edition processors, 1066Mhz FSB, Dual Channel DDR2-667, 6 SATA RAID and Azalia Audio.

Certainly, the most anticipated feature of RD400 is the support for AMR (ATI Multi Rendering) where two different PCIe graphics cards can work hand in hand without a need for SLI-like bridge. ATi RD480 that supports AMR as well will come in the near future for AMD processors. The 2nd generation of RD400 chipset coming second half of the year will allow SMA (graphics onboard) to run in conjunction with an external PCIe graphics card. Certainly the onboard graphics will not be wasted if an external graphics card is plugged in and both will run in dual GPUs mode.

Slowly and stedily Sourabh i am going to stop visiting tech sites and wait on the forum cos you provide us all details anyway. Better still start a blog and publish a RSS feed
