Now that CeBit has kicked off we are a Press Release (http://216.12.218.25/domain/www.beyond3d.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=10) frenzy!

As can be seen from these releases (http://216.12.218.25/domain/www.beyond3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=422) ATi has now officially unveiled their integrated chipsets - formerly known as A3 & A4. The IGP 320 & IGP 320M are the desktop and mobile Northbridge chipsets for AMD Duron and Athlon, and IGP 330 & IGP 330M for Intel's Pentium4 processor range.

Contrary to previous rumors ATi has also introduced their own Southbridge solutions as well, which may explain the length of time for these chipsets to be officially announced. The IXP 200 and IXP 250 both feature support for integrated Ethernet (via 3Com), six USB 2.0 ports, six channel digital surround sound, and PCI 2.3.

Well I'll be. Some more of banging heads with Nvidia. Can't wait to see reviews and how the drivers (if any needed) are.

It looks like they have not one, but two slightly different 2D/video solutions to put on their chips. The other one is lacking one feature, but until we learn what V.I.D.E.O. I.M.(M.)E.R.S.I.O.N. is an acronym from, we won't know which. (Hey. "Mobile"?) Highly interesting press releases nonetheless.
