RD890 in Q2 2009


It looks like the SB800, a dynamic duo chipset which is a mixture of upcoming RD890 and RS880 chipsets, is going to bring PCIe 3.0 support to the world.

According to the document we've seen the new Rx8x0 chipsets should be launched at some point in Q2 2009, and the document clearly indicates that SB 8xx comes with PCIe 5GHz x 4 support, which would imply that at least this chip can take care of the upcoming PCIe 3.0 specification.

PCIe 3.0 means twice as much bandwidth, but this is not the most limiting factor of the graphics card today. It will still be cool to have it and it looks that it will show its face by Q2 2009.
