AMD 690 chipset family is the first experience of joint AMD-ATI Company in terms of new product development. However, of course, AMD 690 is the ATI heritage in the first place, as ATI started working on this core logic set before the merger. AMD quit the desktop PC chipset market in the times of Socket A platforms, although even in those days their chipsets boasted pretty modest marketing potential: their primary goal was to make sure that the new platform gets sufficient supply of reference chipset at the time of launch, while later on most of AMD’s hopes were with the third-party chipset developers, such as VIA, SiS and Nvidia.
