Question Regarding South Bridge of 880G AMD Chipset

[vwad]

Hello,

I saw some mobos on various manufacturers' sites. They have two kinds of mobos for this chipset, one having south bridge 710 and other 850.

What is the exact difference between the two and which one is better ?

See the bottom table here.

Overall the 850 was on a smaller fabrication die, and had more USB support with GB Ethernet.

Used to Google too much

Most welcome. Learning for me too. Quite a noob on AMD.

^ One of the most important features of SB850 is native SATA 6Gbps support iirc.
