Vista operating system corresponds to K8M890 performance exposure

Friends Station HKEPC has taken the lead in testing the first PCIe integrated chipset K8M890 that VIA will mass-produce at the end of the year. The DX9-class DeltaChrome graphics core integrated by Chip Northbridge is also known to support Microsoft's Windows Vista operating system at the end of next year.

Compared with the current K8M800 with integrated DX7 UniChrome, the K8M890 has added support for 1GHz HyperTransport and Ultra V-Link in addition to the integrated graphics core and graphics installation interface. The DeltaChrome hardware supports 2 Pixel Shader and 1 Vertex Shader, 250MHz core frequency can support MPEG-2/4, WMV 9.0 video acceleration and HDTV/DVI output, K8M890 is also known to be used with VT8237R/+ and VT8251 South Bridge.

It is also worth mentioning that VIA's updated chipset processor blueprint was originally planned to be mass-produced early next year. The integration of DeltaChrome's P4M890 also changed the plan to continue to use UniChrome Pro. (UniChrome Enhanced) graphics core, and now the P4M800 CD is known to integrate the UniChrome graphics core, but in its CE version has also integrated UniChrome Pro.

In the first test of HKEPC, the K8M890 integrated graphics performance is naturally less than the RS480 and GeForce 6100, the strongest K8 integrated chipset, but the fact that the K8M890 is launched is only for Windows Vista. And continue to supply the cheap chipset market and not compete with the RS480, GeForce 6100 market, friends who are interested in specific performance tests can refer to HKEPC this connection
