AMD 760 DDR chipset delayed

Gigabyte has confirmed there are problems with AMD's new 760 DDR chipset, launched just two days ago and has delayed shipping its new GA-7DX mobo as a result.

A Gigabyte representative in the UK told The Reg that it was an AMD issue and that Chimpzilla was currently investigating the problem. It would be 'at least two weeks' before the severity of the problem and hence the length of the delay were known, he added. He declined to comment on the precise details of the fault.

The implication is that systems and boards are unlikely to be available until December at the earliest. The delay follows AMD's admission that SMP Athlons won't ship until the middle of next year.

AMD was unavailable for comment at press time. ®
