The Intel-oriented version of ATI's RS600 chipset will ship as the Radeon Xpress 1250, it has emerged.
According to a presentation slide posted (http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=3085&www.reghardware.co.uk) by DailyTech, the 1250 will be support ATI's Avivo picture-processing system and be pitched at digital-home machines. The slide suggests the chipset will be suitable for Viiv-branded PCs.
The slide touts the technology's "multi-format HD support". The RS600 is known to support the HDMI interconnect and can cope with the HDCP anti-piracy system. Avivo incorporates hardware acceleration for the HD video codecs used by both the Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD formats, along with H.264. The integrated chipset will sport a Radeon X700-class GPU.
The RS600 includes ATI's new (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/04/10/ati_sb600_to_debut_may/) SB600 South Bridge, and popped up on an Elitegroup (ECS) mobo at Computex (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/06/07/r_ati_rs600_surfaces/) earlier this month. ®
