The chipset series is targeted in three markets, the workstation/server market, the desktop market and the notebook market. Current information about the chipset series is very scarce, while the officially published information about the series is the server chipsets with two variants available, the AMD 890S chipset and the AMD 870S chipset, all of them paired with the SB700S series southbridge.

Retrieved December 14, 2007] The chipsets was supposed to support the codenamed "Montreal" processor made on
45 nm process, inSocket G3 package, supporting both unbuffered or buffered DDR3 (with Socket G3MX), HyperTransport 3.0 andIOMMU , all of them forming the codenamed "Piranha" server platform. However as a result of shifted strategy, AMD abandoned plans for Socket G3 and G3MX completely and focused to deliver new server platforms.The codenamed "Fiorano" platform consists of codenamed "Istanbul" six-core processors, scheduled to be released in the second half 2009, while "Istanbul" processors still feature
Socket F+ and support dual-channel registered DDR2 memory, the platform supports HyperTransport 3.0 andIOMMU .

These two processors support a new socket called
Socket G34 with four-channel DDR3 support, with other platform features such as HyperTransport 3.0 and IOMMU support.
