Digit news - AMD debuts four-core "4x4" motherboard

AMD has launched a motherboard capabable of taking two dual-core Athlon 64 FX-70 series chips and uses Nvidia's 680a chipset.

Some might say it's not true 4x4 but running 2x dual core. However it will be compatible with future true quad core designs being released next year. It's aimed at high end gamers.

It also shows AMD are retaining their relationship with Nvidia even though they acquired ATI earlier this year.
