@ 2009/12/11Next year in Q2 AMD will debut the Leo desktop platform, Dragon's successor, and two of the three main parts on which it will be based - the Thuban hexa-core processor, and the RD890 series chipset. Together with the SB850 southbridge, the RD890 will make up the AMD 890FX chipset. Boasting support for AM3 processors, the 890FX-GD70 seems to feature 5-phase DrMOS and includes four DDR3 memory slots, no less than six PCI-Express x16 slots for CrossFireX setups, six SATA 6.0 Gbps ports and another SATA connector (the blue one) which may or may not be as 'fast' as the others.
