Intel Corporation will discuss its forthcoming chipsets formerly code-named Alderwood and Grantsdale on the 1st of June, 2004. The chipsets will not only bring some performance enhancements, but will ignite the brand-new era in the PC industry by beginning the transition to PCI Express interconnection that will eventually replace conventional PCI bus that has been in use for more than a decade.

“These platforms represent the most compelling platform architectural changes in a decade. Never before has one platform provided the opportunity for such revolutionary changes in how we live, work, learn and play as the Intel i925X and i915 Express chipset family with the Intel Pentium 4 processor supporting HT technology,” a source close to Intel said.

New core-logic sets from Intel - i915G, i915P, i925X and derivatives – will bring dual-channel DDR2 SDRAM memory, PCI Express x16 and x1 lanes for add-in cards, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 (i915G only), 4 Serial ATA-150, high-definition (Azalia) audio as well as some other important capabilities, such as integrated WLAN or promising RAID technologies.

Intel’s i925X core-logic set will deliver from 2% to 7% performance increase over systems powered by Intel’s former flagship offering i875P at the same clock-speed of central processing unit, according to the information from Intel.
