AMD SR5690

The chipset, also known as RD890S, was released in March 2010 as a powerful system logic for server and workstation platforms. It offers 46 PCI Express lanes, with 42 lanes dedicated to external PCIe devices and 4 for the A-Link Express II interface to AMD's Southbridges like the SP5100 (formerly SB700S). The chipset boasts the latest technologies, including HyperTransport™ 3 and PCIe Gen 2, and its highly integrated, thermally efficient design comes in a compact 29mm x 29mm package.

The SR5690 introduces Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) capabilities, such as parity protection for on-chip memories and PCI Express Advanced Error Reporting (AER). Additionally, it supports a revision 1.26 compliant IOMMU implementation, enhancing memory protection and supporting hardware-based I/O virtualization.

Notable Features:

1. CPU Interface: Supports HyperTransport 3.0 interface up to 5.2 GT/s, multiple CPU frequencies, and various AMD processors through sockets F, AM3, G34, and C32.
2. PCI Express® Interface: Optimized peer-to-peer and general-purpose link performance, 42 PCIe Gen 2 lanes, and IOMMU implementation for address translation and protection.
3. A-Link Express II Interface: Proprietary x4 interface for connecting to an AMD Southbridge.
4. Multiple Processor Support: Accommodates multiple-socket configurations for up to 8 processors in the same system.
5. Power Management Features: Fully supports ACPI states S1, S3, S4, and S5, AMD PowerNow!™ technology, and dynamic lane reduction for PCIe interfaces.
6. Comprehensive Testing Capability: Offers advanced test modes and capabilities for high fault coverage and low Defect Per Million (DPM) ratio.
7. Packaging: Single-chip solution in 65nm, 1.1V CMOS technology, with a flip-chip design in a 29mm x 29mm 692-FCBGA package.

The SR5690 chipset is compatible with various operating systems, including Windows Server® 2003, Windows Server® 2008, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux, and Solaris. It supports corporate manageability requirements, ACPI, write combining support, and extensive power management features.
