AMD RD790 Chipset

Looks like Gigabyte may be the first to market with AMD Newest RD790 Chipset. HardOCP is posting sighting of the GA-MA790FX-DQ6 in Europe. RD790 is the mainstream chipset for the new Socket AM2+ motherboards to launch with the AMD Phenom X2, X3, X4, and FX Series CPUs to be released Q4 2007 to Q1 2008. An interesting thing to note is the huge jumping in Hyper Transport Speed: 4000Mhz (4Ghz) and the 4 - PCI-E 2.0 x16 Slots on-board. The rumors of native Quad-Crossfire on the RD790 chipsets might not be rumors much longer.
