AMD and its graphics / chipset division called ATI have a lot of reasons to celebrate. Nvidia is scared of RV770 chips, the AMD 790G chipset is doing really well, and it is about to launch AMD790GX which will set the performance bar even higher.

AMD 790GX now has RV620 55nm-based, Radeon 3470-based graphics and this IGP will officially be known as Radeon 3300.

The 790GX IGP will end up roughly 33 percent faster than AMD 790G and if you add SidePort memory you can count on an additional 10 percent of performance increase.

AMD 790GX will score close to 2000 in 3Dmark06 on AMD Phenom CPU, while Nforce 8200 will score around 1300 in the same test. This certainly puts some distance between these two competing products.
