AMD 690G has earlier been known as ATI RS690 and is thus a chipset for AMD’s Socket AM2 platform. Now pictures of what is claimed to be one of the first motherboards based on AMD’s new chipset has appeared and the board comes from the relatively unknown manufacturer YingTong. Despite the fact AMD has renamed the chipset the northbridge is still branded with ATI’s logotype and its RS690 product name. In the chipset there will be an integrated X700-based graphics circuit and the motherboard comes with one HDMI output and support for HDCP. YingTong 690G has support for up to 8GB DDR2-800 RAM, SATA and Gigabit Ethernet.
The motherboard also has a PCIe x16 slot for an external graphics card and the micro-ATX formfactor tells us that AMD is gearing this circuit toward smaller computer systems such as MediaCenters and such. We’re eager to see how the integrated graphics circuit performs, but also how ATI/AMD’s new circuits performs in general. Until then we will have to settle for pictures of the first AMD 690G board.
