Chip designer AMD showed off its latest Trinity APU and new 9-series chipset to an eager crown of tech journalists and industry punters at Computex in Taipei this week.
AMD's new 9-series chipset is a key part of the firm's Scorpius desktop platform, featuring 8-core Zambezi processors built on the Bulldozer core, according to AMD product group general manager, Rick Bergman.

In addition to being compatible with AMD's forthcoming CPUs, the 9-series chipset supports up to 1,866MHz DDR3 RAM and is able to power up to four Crossfire X graphics cards.
AMD is also promoting the I/O capabilities of its 9-series chipset, which the company claims can provide up to 14 USB 2.0 ports and up to six SATA 6Gbps ports.
The new chipsets are available immediately with AMD's latest motherboards to be on sale later in June. Zambezi CPUs will be available "late Summer".
"As consumer appetites for more compelling, lifelike visual experiences increase, there is greater need for high performance, smooth, vibrant graphics as well as unparalleled computing power," says AMD product marketing director, John Taylor.
"From tablets to desktops, AMD is making powerful computing accessible to everyone."
