ATI's RD580 is Crossfire Xpress 3200

jmke · 4th January 2006, 20:17

WE RESOLVED another mystery of the graphics motherboard world. We can confirm that ATI's new chipset RD480 will be called Crossfire Xpress 3200.
The 3200 number is there because the chipset features 32 lanes for dual PCIe 16X graphic cards and the rest of the name is logical.

Motherboard manufacturers are making these boards as we speak and there should be some retail boards at launch time. The boards are scheduled for a double jeopardy launch with the new graphic chip R580, known as Radeon X1900XTX. If all goes well, we should see both of these products on 24th of January
