Will AMD OverDrive™ be available on all 7-Series chipsets?

Does a user need to reboot after adjusting settings on AMD OverDrive?

Will AMD 790FX chipsets launch with the SB600 or SB700 Southbridge?

How does the 790 FX stack up against competitive offerings?





Q:Will AMD OverDrive™ be available on all 7-Series chipsets?
A:Ultimately, this is up to our ODM partners. We expect the majority of our top ODM partners to offer the AMD OverDrive utility with AMD 790 FX.


Q:Does a user need to reboot after adjusting settings on AMD OverDrive?
A:Actually, the vast majority of the performance tuning done on AMD OverDrive does not require a reboot.* (Note: AMD’s product warranty does not cover damage caused by overclocking)


Q:Will AMD 790FX chipsets launch with the SB600 or SB700 Southbridge?
A:The 790FX will launch with the SB600 Southbridge, but we expect some customers to also launch with SB700 in Q1 2008.


Q:How does the 790 FX stack up against competitive offerings?
A:We believe the 790 FX is the industry leading chipset for AMD Phenom processors and offers the best performance experience to fully exploit the performance of true quad-core.
