AMD Will Support DisplayPort Standard

Dailytech has reported that AMD has announced it will be supporting the upcoming DisplayPort standard, which recently added support for HDCP when it reached milestone 1.1.

The introduction of this new standard has already upset quite a few industry experts since this is one more standard to contend with. Apart from AMD, several other companies are backing DisplayPort which include Dell, Genesis Microchip, HP, Intel, Lenovo, NVIDIA and Samsung Electronics. The new standard will be compatible with DVI as well as the HDMI standards.

AMD has in its announcement, stated that it would be backing DisplayPort as a standard near the end of 2007 and that it would be fully supporting the new technology in 2008, along with other upcoming technologies such as DirectX10 and Hypertransport 3.0. These new items would form the core of AMD's Fusion platform which was announced earlier this year.
