Chipset AMD serie 8000
Amd ha pubblicato altre informazion a questo indirizzo riguardo la futura serie di chipset AMD 8000
Core logic components designed to support AMD's next-generation processor architecture, code named "Hammer"
Implements HyperTransport™ Architecture as the chip-to-chip interconnect and system backbone
Offers high-speed data-transfer capability and feature-rich functionality
Flexible architecture that supports a multitude of market segments--from Mobile and Desktop, to Server and Workstation platforms
Più in particolare, vediamo :
AMD-8111™ HyperTransport™ I/O Hub, il quale prenderà il posto dei tradizionali southbridge

Le sue Features sono :
8-bit HyperTransport technology interface supporting up to 800MB/s of bandwidth
33MHz, 32-bit PCI 2.2-compliant PCI bus with support for up to eight PCI devices
AC-97 interface supporting soft modem and six-channel soft audio
Integrated 10/100 Ethernet MAC with MII interface
Two USB OHCI controllers and one USB EHCI controller supporting a total of six ports
EIDE controller supporting ATA-33, 66, 100, and 133 transfer modes
LPC bus
High-precision event timer
Serial IRQ interface
IOAPIC controller
Real-time clock (RTC)
ACPI-compliant power management logic
32 GPIO pins (multiplexed with other functions)
Privacy-security logic
492-pin PBGA package
Un altro chip è l' AMD-8131™ HyperTransport™ PCI-X Tunnel

16-bit HyperTransport interface (Side A) offering a maximum bandwidth of up to 6.4GB/s
8-bit HyperTransport interface (Side B) offering a maximum bandwidth of up to 3.2GB/s
Two PCI-X bridges (Bridge A and Bridge B) supporting the following features:
-PCI-X modes and legacy PCI revision 2.2 modes
- 133MHz, 100MHz, 66MHz, and 33MHz transfer rates in PCI-X mode
- 66MHz and 33MHz PCI 2.2 modes
-Independent transfer rates and operational modes for each bridge
-Each bridge includes support for up to five PCI masters
-Each bridge includes an IOAPIC with four redirection registers - legacy interrupt controller and IOAPIC modes supported
-SHPC-compliant hot plug controller and support
-829-pin OBGA package
Altro chip, AMD-8151™ HyperTransport™ AGP3.0 Graphics Tunnel che promette delle ottime prestazioni in campo grafico, grazie al supporto AGP 3.0, ovvero, AGP 8X.

Le features di questo chip sono:
16-bit HyperTransport interface (Side A) offering a maximum bandwidth of up to 6.4GB/s
8-bit HyperTransport interface (Side B) offering a maximum bandwidth of up to 1.6GB/s
Compliant with AGP 3.0 specification signaling, supporting 4X and 8X transfer modes
Compliant with AGP 2.0 specification signaling, supporting 1X, 2X, and 4X transfer modes
564-pin OBGA package
