Today we were invited to the Gigabyte headquarters here in Taipei, Taiwan to take a hands-on look at one of their special new motherboards which will use AMD’s upcoming AM2 (formerly Socket M2) processor socket. The motherboard in question is the K8NDSLI Pro-RH that is based on an nVidia chipset, which is much the same as the current nForce4 SLI chipset.
AMD will launch its new 940-pin AM2 Athlon processors and platform on June 6th of this year during Computex. The new platform for AMD finally brings DDR-2 memory support to the Athlon family of processors. Besides the addition of DDR-2 support through the on-die memory controller, there is nothing much new about the processor, at least from what we were told by Gigabyte. As well as a bunch of new Athlon processors being ready at launch, Gigabyte will also have top-to-bottom motherboard solutions available.
