AMD preps RS880 integrated graphics
WITH THE ADVENT of Windows 7 and just before delivering its first DX11 GPU to the world, AMD is also preparing to squeeze out a brand new integrated package, according to certain mainboard partner roadmaps.
Designated the RS880, the device will sport AMD's new Radeon HD 4200 graphics core, which is said to be almost 15 per cent faster than anything comparable that's currently available.
Support for AMD's ever evolving Stream technology will purportedly also be included at the genetic level, for all that's worth, considering the paltry number of Stream partners at present.
With the incessant, Alpha male chest thumping between DAAMIT and the Green Goblin over discrete graphics, it's sometimes easy to forget that the global market for integrated graphics is actually much larger.
So large, in fact, that the sheer volume of of these tiny, shiny hardworking integrated graphics chips is enough to put Intel, rather than either Nvidia or AMD/ATI, at the top of the global graphics pyramid. Oh the irony.
First contact with AMD's new DX10.1 chipset species is set to occur sometime in the last week of August, when they finally hatch. It's noteworthy that, as AMD shoves DX10.1 out to all of its platforms and readies itself for the big push on DX11, Nvidia is still somewhat struggling to even hit the DX10.1 spec.
And Intel, we're told, is still in its first trimester and unlikely to have anything to show in this area for at least six months. µ

She seems to be a one woman news generation engine, as opposed to a 'press release re-writer' (sorry Nick)
One can only hope that this new chipset, since it is DX10.1, should be compatible with the other members of the HD4000 series.
Perhaps AMD have got their hybrid modes sorted out this go around and maybe this will allow hybrid power.
All the others only seem to recycle the same crap over and over. Silvie actually writes stuff with a bit of originality and flair. I wish the inquirer had more writers like her.
...that grows around Sylvie.
I must get a real job one of these days.
Congrats Syl, you made Engadget

Your circle of admirers are growing :p
You said "of" twice.
/I like of.
Long Time Ago, Asus/ASRock made 880 chip set or so they Stated. It was headliner & Then Problems. Now Istanbul package mentioned yesterday uses that chipset. 3200 for primary & 3050 for secondary. In early 2008 it was first Nv 3050 then 3200.
Now whole SheBangun gets to 4200. Finally "True" 880. 780/790GhX Was Uber in Non Uber World. So Just Figures With Strenght revised & Sparks Taken Out, Tipper Is NOW Going Mainstream.
920a Is Much More Powerful Being Quad Core AMD while Nv3200 is TRi Core Product. 880 Will NO Doubt Be Lower Voltage Than Topper. Topper from Istanbul perking up from Low 75 watt to?twice. 2 processor 'n ONE?

Can't wait for this.. 780G feels well dated now. Hopefully it's a smaller process too.
Hmm, not bad.
