AMD Has Upper Hand in Next IGP Chipset Battle

DigiTimes, citing unnamed sources at various motherboard makers, is claiming that AMD will have the upper hand with its next-gen IGP chipset. Of course this is all just rumor but it is always fun to speculate on upcoming products.

AMD's RS780 and Nvidia's MCP 78 IGP chipsets are scheduled to go head-to-head in the first quarter of 2008, however, performance of the MCP 78S is reportedly below that of the RS780, while the higher-end MCP 78U is causing issues due to its higher thermal dissipation giving AMD the advantage over the chipset battle, according to sources at motherboard makers.
