Comparison of AMD chipsets
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a comparison of chipsets sold under the brand AMD, manufactured before May 2004 by the company itself, before the adoption of open platform approach as well as chipsets manufactured by ATI Technologies (ATI) after July 2006 as the completion of the ATI acquisition.

Features | Southbridge | NB-SB Interface | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AMD-640 | AMD-640 chipset | K6,K6-2, K6-3,K6-2+ (Super 7) (supported Cyrix 6x86, Cyrix MII) |
