AMD Officially Launches 690 Chipsets

AMD has revealed its 690 chipset to the world. This is a very first chipset designed by ATI and released under the AMD banner, but this is one of many to come. There are two versions being offered from day one, 690G and 690V. Intended for value and mainstream segment, 690G chipset boasts integrated graphics based on Radeon X700 with additional features, SB600 Southbridge and a wide support for Socket AM2 processors.

However, the integrated graphics part, named Radeon X1250 is more than just a X700 with a new name. Engineers implemented several important features, such as native HDMI support, combined with an integrated DVI output. This also means 690G is the first integrated chipset with two digital outputs.
