You mean chipsets? by: Theo Valich on 5/3/2009
As far as I know, Broadcom and nVidia created and still create chipsets, while the board design is all up to motherboard vendors.

AMD was out of chipset arena because the company had no faith in that division [in the past], but after acquiring ATI, things changed for the better. I wonder what AMD chipsets can bring to the table. Some SATA 3.0 lovin' would sit just fine with multiple SSD RAID arrays, which are a given in the workstation and server arena in the next 6 months.

I think it is safe to assume that even Intel SSD parts passed qualy since their launch...
AMD board selection by: Michael A. McKenney on 4/30/2009
I had a Tyan Thunder K8W and K8WE server board with a pair of 940 Opterons. The broadcom and Nvidia board selection was not that spectacular. I looked with various 1207 based boards. I did not find anything decent. The K8WE was missing the voltage detection circuitry for software to show you voltage readouts on the board. I switched to Intel based board from Supermicro.

I would like to see AMD start designing boards again. Broadcom and Nvidia were their only choices.
