AMD will today announce its Quad FX platform, formerly codenamed ‘4×4′, it has been claimed. The technology is built out of Nvidia’s nForce 680a SLI chipset and AMD’s new Athlon 64 FX-70 series of dual-core processors.

According to a report on Japanese-language site PCWatch, there are the FX-70s: the FX-70, FX-72 and FX-74 [priced at $599, $799 and $999 respectively].

Adding weight to the claims, Japanese PC maker Faith today unveiled a PC it described as a Quad FX-ready system. The Inspire X FX744X4N/DVR Premium is based on the nForce 680i chipset, a pair of Athlon 64 FX-74s, Corsair heatsink-fitted memory modules and four Nvidia GeForce 7950GT graphics cards in Quad SLI mode.
