insane schrijft dat The Register Intel's desktop chipset plannen voor het tweede en derde kwartaal heeft kunnen bemachtigen. In het artikel wordt o.a. melding gemaakt van de Lockport (D820LP, i820, Rambus support, onboard audio + lan), Easton (815EEA chipset, PGA 370, onboard audio + lan), Wichita (D815EWT, PGA 370, flexATX form factor), Yampai (YA810E, 810E chipset, 810E graphics, onboard audio + lan, flexATX form factor) en Baton Rouge (BA810E, PGA 370, i810E graphics, onboard modem + lan). Hieronder wat over de chipsets gepland voor het derde kwartaal:
In Q3, Intel will introduce its Melbourne (D820EMB), based on the 820E chipset, supporting Rambus and PGA370, having an ATX form factor and 4X AGP connectivity.
In the same quarter, will come the Stornaway board, the 820EST, which supports synchronous memory, is PGA370 compliant, comes in the microATX form factor, has 4X AGP connectivity, and uses the 820E-memory translator hub.
The same sources reveal that a number of projects have dropped off Intel's roadmap. They include Holbrook, Portsmouth, and Great Smokey-2.
Bimini has now completely disappeared from Intel's plans for 2000.
