nvidia mcp72 k8l chipset

Before beginning story about the sequential news, connected with processors AMD of future generation, let us make some explanations relative to the notation accepted. It was considered Until now that 65 nm processors with four core, which will begin their life in the middle of this year with servers solutions of family barcelona. Company AMD has already long time ago refused to have anything to do from this code name, preferring longer word combination like AMD processors from following generation.
Associates with the assistance of the official AMD representatives explain, what arbitrary symbol K8L in its time was applied to the mobile processors with the lowered energy consumption (L - from English low), which subsequently appeared to the peace by name turion 64. In actuality, the processors of future generation should be designate as K10. Since the designation K8L special benevolence AMD never used.

As far as the newsbreak, which forced us again to recall about these processors, is concerned, it appeared on the pages of the American site dailyTech. Associates reported that first chipset NVIDIA for processors socket AM2+ will become MCP72. In contrast to the direct predecessors of series nForce 5xx, this collection of system logic will have one chip layout. This will make possible to reduce the prime cost of motherboard on its basis due to simplification in design and savings of place. Furthermore, this chipset will be sufficient to economical from the point of view of energy consumption.

MCP72 will ensure not only the support of system bus hyperTransport 3.0, but also by the first chipsets NVIDIA it realizes the support of interface PCI express 2.0. From the characteristics south part of monolithic chip they are mentioned only the support of six ports SATA-300 and two gigabit net ports.

Most likely, in the family MCP72 there will be somewhat chipsets, with the division in the version SLI and Ultra. Versions with integrated video also will appear, the characteristics of the built-in graphic core will for sure remind one of chipset MCP73 and MCP79 for the platform intel.

As associates report, the announcement chipsets series MCP72 will take place approximately in the third quarter of 2007, simultaneously release of the processors agena and Budapest in socket AM2+.
