ON 4 Aug, AMD will launch a new updated chipset for the AMD mainboards. This new chipset supports socket-AM2/AM2+/AM3 processors and 5.2GTs 16X16 wide Hyper Transport HT3.0 bus. It can be use for mainboards supporting DDR2 or DDR3.

The SUPoX AK785G will pair up the AMD 785G with SB710, which is the downsized variant of the SB 750. As for the graphics, it will have an an integrated ATI RV620(HD 4200)-based Graphics Processor(IGP) that integrates a DirectX 10.1 Shader Model 4.1 graphic core. It supports Windows Vista Aero display architecture and has a maximum DAC frequency of 400 MHz Resolution up to 2560x1600 and support up to a refresh rate up to 85MHz.

The chipset will support multiple display components including D-SUB, DVI-D, HDMI and there is frame buffer on board (32-256MB).

For HD Video, it supports UVD 2 for high quality scaling, multi stream playback (PIP), transcode acceleration and dynamic contrast. The 3rd new difference is that now supports AMD overdrive 3 fusion utility. Most importantly it is on 55nm and you have a lower power, low noise power efficient system. Other features of the AMD 785G includes ATi Hybrid Graphics - Hybrid CF with Radeon HD 3450, PCIe Gen 2 (12 USB, 6 SATA, RAID). It also comes with HDMI (HDCP), DVI, Display port and SurroundView support.

The 3D performance of the integrated graphics is said to outperform the previous generation with a 3DMark06 score of 1500+.
