VR-ZONE says Leo is for april 2010. (8 months from now)
If you don't like to wait that much, you can buy something now.
Anything you like.

Sorry I don't know!

I tried to google "amd roadmap" (if i remember correctly before one month there was a complete leaked AMD roadmap with nearly everything)

Now i can't find it!

If the VR-ZONE article is correct, it says 890FX/GX!
Since there will be 890GX, i suppose there will be a lower clocked IGP like a 870G version?

AMD always confused me with their esoteric chipset names, but i think the esoteric naming with the brand naming is as follows:

RS880G=785G
RD890=890FX/GX ?
