Not necessarily a cross-dresser
WHAT IS ATI going to follow the successes of the 780G and 790FX chipsets with? How about the 890TV?
Word has reached us that the successor to these bad boys is up and running right now, and two things are known about them.
First is that the dev boards floating around have four 16x PCIe slots, no word if that is eight or 16x electrical though. Secondly, sources tell us that TV does not mean the obvious thing, but given the outputs on the 780G, it would not surprise anyone if these parts were well equipped.
Given the state of things now, if all goes well, we could be seeing boards by mid to late summer. ATI has been on a roll lately with launch timings, so we would not bet against this one hitting the marks. µ
