ATI today formally launched its Radeon Xpress 200 series of chipsets, as anticipated, formerly known as the RS480 and RX480.

Initially targeting AMD's Athlon 64 and Sempron processors, the Radeon Xpress 200 and 200P equip the chip with PCI Express support and, in the case of the 200, DirectX 9 graphics, with both vertex shader 2.0 and pixel shader 2.0 support. The graphics core has two pixel pipelines.

The 200 is pitched at mainstream applications, in both the consumer and business PC segments. It supports both Socket 754 and Socket 939 CPUs mounted on ATX and micro-ATX motherboards. ATI said it will also offer a package that bundled the 200 with its "PVR on a chip" Theater 550 TV chip, targeted at multimedia systems, including Media Center PCs.
