MojoKid writes: AMD has taken the wraps off their first product in the chipset arena since the acquisition of ATI last year. Here is a preview look at AMD's new 690 series chipset with integrated Radeon X1200 graphics. Poised at taking on NVIDIA's long since mature nForce 430 chipset, AMD has provided a competitive new offering in the IGP space it seems. The RS690's integrated Radeon X1250 sports a 400MHz, 128-Bit graphics engine, is Direct X9 compatible and has a maximum resolution of 2048x1536 with 32-Bit color. In addition, both VGA and HDMI outputs can run independently and its HDMI interface supports the 1.2 specification as well as HDCP 1.1.

Unlike current methods, it can be used to reclaim metals such as copper without releasing toxic fumes into the air. Only a small numbers of PCBs are currently recycled."
