Notre confrère anglophone Digit-Life vient de publié sur son site un test comparatif de 12 cartes mères équipées du chipset AMD 690G. Voici la liste des cartes mères qui composent ce test comparatif, ASUS M2A-VM (HDMI), Biostar TA690G-AM2, ECS AMD690GM-M2, Formoza FM2A692-GHG (JetWay M2A692-GHG), Foxconn A690GM2MA-8KRS2H, Gigabyte MA69VM-S2, Gigabyte MA69G-S3, la MSI K9AGM2-F et la K9AGM2-FIH, MSI K9AG Neo2-Digital, Sapphire Pure Element (PE-AM2RS690MH). Ces cartes mères intègrent un socket AM2 qui supporte bien sûr les processeurs AMD Athlon 64/X2/FX, Sempron et Opteron.

La configuration de test est quant à elle composé d'un processeur AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ de 2 x 1 Go de mémoire Kingston KHX7200D2K2/1G (DDR2-800, 5-5-5-15), d'un disque dur Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (SATA, 7200 rpm), d'une alimentation Chieftec CFT-560-A12C et enfin tourne sous l'OS (Système d'exploitation) Windows XP SP2.

"When the AMD 690G chipset was released by AMD and ATI together after their merger, AMD representatives claimed that the strategic objective of integrated chipsets from AMD was not to compete with NVIDIA products for the AMD platform, but to launch an offensive on the global competitor Intel in the segment of office solutions, entry-level multimedia computers, and media centers. Strictly speaking, there have been no technical contraindications to this attack for a long time. An interesting combination of prices and characteristics in this segment was typical of the AMD platform even at that time, when there was almost no competition in the segment of expensive desktops, and especially servers."
