Así es, en 939 Crossfire se quedo un poco atrás, pero en AM2 no quieren cometer el mismo error…
ATI Crossfire™ 3200, sistema conformado por 2 puertos de 16x, PCI Express, diseñado para el gamer entusiasta o profesional, con un bandwith de nada menos que 8gbs para cada GPU (gracias a los puertos de 16x).
ATI nos dice que esta arquitectura permite reducir los Cuellos de Botella que ocurrían en otras soluciones 16x (se entiende SLi y antiguo Crossfire).
Crossfire para 939
Haciendo un pequeño Overview a las características contamos con el mayor ancho de banda con 2 x16 PCIE, 40 lanes de PCI Express, Soluciones High End Crossfire, y sobre todo, un mejorado Southbridge, el ATI SB600 que promete una performance insuperable para los periféricos.
La verdad sin mucho mas que decir, los dejo con las specs completas, en ingles:
