ATi has a live demo of their RS600 IGP chipset for Intel at Computex which is slated for launch in July and ECS is among the first board manufacturer to come out with the design. We have learned that RS600 supports AVIVO and HDCP as well as HDMI. Interestingly, the northbridge now handles the HD Audio capability instead of the southbridge to free up some some PCI Express lanes for HDMI. As for the integrated graphics core, we are told that it is a hybrid between X700 and X1300 architectures so we can expect the performance to be pretty ideal and it is Windows Vista Premium ready.
