Today sees the birth of 890GX, AMD's new motherboard chipset which gives the latest in technologies such as native SATA 3.0 support (via the SB850 Southbridge), all PCI-e 2.0 lanes, Radeon HD 4290 DX10.1 IGP and support for AMD's upcoming six-core processors.

The first example of many more 890GX based boards to come entered our labs a short time ago and we now have our review online in the form of the ASUS M4A89GTD Pro/USB3 where we look at both its IGP and discrete graphics performance, overall chipset performance, feature set and compare to Intel's mid-level H57 platform.
