NVIDIA MCP78 to launch sooner than expected

Thursday 21st June 2007, 02:02:00 PM, written by Rys

Digitimes are reporting that NVIDIA are accelerating the launch of MCP78, their D3D10 IGP for AMD sockets, in order for it to arrive before AMD 780G. With MCP68 late to market and possibly losing business compared to AMD 690G, it seems that's the incentive for that to happen.

As well as D3D10, the single-chip IGP/Southbridge/Northbridge ASIC will support HT3.0, PCI Express Gen2, HDMI and DisplayPort technologies. While the chip undoubtedly supports all AMD socket types in theory, it's likely that it will only appear on designs that support Socket AM2 and AM2+ when mainboard vendors release their final designs. 

Digitimes have the news, as mentioned.
