The AMP also handles the AM3 AM85 processors

NVIDIA's MCP85 chipsets replace the GeForce 8000s (8100, 8200 and 8300).

Az MCP82 variants (S1 and S2) Expreview reported the arrival of new AMD chipsets and their specifications after. There are only nuances of differences between the MCP85-S and the MCP85-V, as IGP performance (different clocks) on the one hand and PureVideo knowledge on the other are what makes it possible to talk about two chipsets instead of one. With hybrid SLI, Hybrid Power power management and GeForce Boost performance-enhancing technology are also common in the chipsets, as is the so-called Advanced Clock Calibration, which transfers the overdrive of AMD Phenom Black Edition processors to a Windows environment.

Samples of the MCP85s have already been sent to its partners by NVIDIA, and mass production is expected to begin in January next year, suggesting that the motherboards built around these chipsets may hit store shelves in the first quarter.
