ATI Radeon Xpress to support HDMI

By

ATI didn’t say much about the future of its Radeon Xpress chipset line at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, but it did indicate that the next generation of the product will support the HDMI interface. Looks like HDMI is going to be the technology to have on electronics moving further into 2006.

ATI is expected to ship its RS485 and RS490 chipsets shortly, if it hasn’t begun to do so already. The RS485 is said to be a tweaked version of the already-shipping RS482. Both parts incorporate a Radeon X300 graphics core, but the RS485’s is clocked higher than the RS482’s. The RS485 is said to be pin-compatible with the RS482, ensuring a relatively smooth upgrade path for motherboard makers.
