    "AMD PR FOLK were yesterday caught asking hacks whether it was true that MSI has revealed RV610 and RV630 chips, and we can now say that the answer is yes.

    But, MSI didn't stop there. The company is openly showing Nvidia GeForce 8600GT and 8500GT, so MSI is the only one on the block that is showing every board that will hit the streets in April and May.

    The MSI show did not stop there - company reps showed G84M and G86M, or the mobile parts and AMD's mobile mainstream part, the RV630M. You can clearly see that the G86M chip is using different package than the desktop one, while the G84M chip looked suspiciously similar to the desktop one.

    In this article, we will show you both desktop and mobile parts from both AMD and ATI, so hang on, a lot of pictures below. We have to warn you that neither of the designs you are seeing are MSI own designs, not reference ones.

    If you thought we are over and done with, think again. We were also shown gaming series of notebooks, which are sharing one important thing: they all feature mobile DirectX 10 parts from both AMD and Nvidia. Yes, AMD will be bringing a mobile DirectX10 part to the market as well.

    All gaming notebooks come with HDMI interface. All in all, this spring will be marked with only one thing: DirectX 10 graphics wherever you turn. Only problem is, hardware-intensive applications are far from being ready."

    One thing and not trying to be rude. Alot of people dont trust theinquirer. 20% right and 80% wrong is not very good.

    It's not their only problem, sometimes they degrade to the level of a tabloid newspaper.And sometimes their comments about vendors are rude.Putting these aside they sometimes post some really interesting stuff.
