Comes in 2009

AMD is about to launch its RS780 chipset that will bring Hybrid Crossfire to life. After 790FX and 780G chipsets it will be the time to go for 8 series of AMD chipsets.

Don’t worry this won't happen in 2008 as the chipset upgrade happens once a year. The new 8 series of chipset should be done by Cebit 2009.

There will be at least two iterations of the chipset, one supporting DDR3 and socket AM3 while the second one will stay loyal to the existing AM2+ and DDR2 infrastructure. Naturally, one of them will also have an integrated graphics core inside.  

As for the time being you should enjoy the power of 7 series of chipsets.
