AMD RX780 Chipset Wins PCI Express Approval

AMD's RX780 chipset, a cut-down version of the similarly AMD-oriented RD790, has won the approval of the PCI SIG, the organisation behind the PCI Express standard. So has the reference motherboard. Both certifications are key steps towards the release of the product. The RX780 closely matches the RD790's specs, but it is a cheaper and cut down version of RD790 with a single PCI-e x16 slot. It supports HyperTransport 3 and Socket AM2+ and will be paired on motherboards with AMD's SB600 southbridge chip.
