AMD has released its 785G chipset which incorporates the Radeon HD 4200 integrated graphics processor and OCC takes a first look at three boards based on the chipset - http://www.overclock...s/785g_preview/

Looking good....
So is 785G meant to be better than 790FX or where is it's position in the chipset lineup?

[ajmatson]

We will soon see but it is supposed to compete with the 780G (separate class from the 790 series)

This will be interesting to me as I'm trying to build a mATX machine. It is strange though to say that the 785G chipset has reached a peak when it is so new.

780G --> 785G --> 790GX --> ? (I'd guess an overclocked 785G in the future, like they did with the 790GX, which is an overclocked 780G.)

I got a 100% overclock on mine, bringing it to 1GHz. Fully stable.

BTW Pingo the 790FX doesn't have integrated graphics.

[PingoPongo]

I know 790FX doesn't have integrated graphics, but anybody buying a mobo with 790FX isn't going to want it anyway

So and after 790GX comes 790X?

Correct

[SenitaL]

i thought X was the same as a GX but without the intergrated GPU, if thats the case then shouldnt it be: 780G -> 785G -> 790X -> 790GX -> 790FX ?

[PingoPongo]

Logically yes thats how it should be, but its 790GX -> 790X. Maybe ajamatson can explain it?

[ajmatson]

I forgot where I saw it in AMD's documentation but they stated the 790X was to bridge the gap between the 790GX and the 790FX for users not wanting a integrated GPU but could not afford the 790FX.

[PingoPongo]

Seems very reasonable.
