The Hudson-D1 – where D of course stands for desktop – is intended to work with both AMD’s entry level Llano processors as well as for Ontario, in the latter case, specifically for small form factor embedded consumer systems. Unlike all the other Hudson chipsets, this model only supports SATA 3Gbps unless AMD has changed its mind since this information was put together. The rest is more or less identical to the mobile Hudson M1 chipset, although the desktop version adds support for up to four PCI slots/devices.

The Hudson-D2 which is the mid-range chipset for the Llano processors offers a slightly better feature set, although again similar to the Hudson-M2. The main difference here compared to the mobile counterpart is some new SATA features such as support for RAID 10 and FIS-based switching which is a feature which allows for commands to be sent and received from any drive at any time, a useful feature in a multi-hard drive system where a lot of data is being shuffled between drives. It also has support for up to three PCI slots/devices, one less than the entry level chipset.
