ZDNet bericht dat de Intel Camino chipset gedelayed is. De belangrijkste features van de Camino chipset zijn support voor 133MHz FSB, Rambus, 4x AGP en UltraATA/66. We moeten dus nog wat langer wachten (herfst '99) voordat we hier gebruik van kunnen maken. Anderzijds biedt dit meer kansen voor AMD met z'n K7.
Hier wat info uit het artikel op ZDNet:
Though it may disappoint some IT managers, who were looking for the chip set to alleviate performance bottlenecks in graphics and memory, Intel will not offer an interim technology, such as 133MHz SDRAM.Rambus Direct RAM, or RDRAM, developed by Rambus Inc. and licensed by Intel and other semiconductor makers, is a new kind of memory used by the chip set. The delay results from difficulties getting the technology, which promises memory that operates at up to 800MHz, into volume production, said Pat Gelsinger, vice president and general manager of Intel's desktop products group.
