AMD 690 series
The AMD 690 series is a chipset family from AMD for AMD's K8 and K9 processors. The first models were presented on February 28, 2007.
Model overview
All chipsets are named after the Northbridge used.
The 690 series IGP is a derivative of the Radeon X700 . Often times, the Radeon Xpress X1200, X1250, and X1270 IGP are identified as the Radeon X1200 series. This can lead to mix-ups.
