Intel Launches Delayed 820 Chip Set

Nov 16, 1999 (Tech Web - CMP via COMTEX) -- SANTA CLARA, Calif.--After
an eight-week delay, Intel Corp. Monday launched its awaited 820 chip
set for Pentium III-based desktop PCs using Direct Rambus DRAMs.

The introduction comes after PC makers discovered a signal-integrity
glitch that derailed the 820's introduction in late September.

But now, Intel said its "Camino" chip set is ready for the commercial
markets. The company maintained that all major PC makers are expected
to be shipping products based on the 820 chip set within the next 30
days. The chip set is priced at $42.50 in 10,000-unit quantities.

The Intel 820 supports the DRDRAM format from Rambus Inc. of Mountain
View, Calif., as well as AGP 4x graphics. Intel said the new chip set
will enable the Pentium III processors to obtain the optimal
performance from Direct Rambus DRAMs --1.6 gigabyte per second
bandwidth or double the peak bandwidth of conventional 100-MHz
synchronous DRAMs.

Also Monday, Intel said it was offering two new PC desktop motherboards
incorporating the new 820 chip set. The Intel VC820 desktop board
supports the Intel 820 chip set with up to 512 Mbytes of RDRAM,while
the Intel CC820 board combines the chip set with up to 512 Mbytes of
SDRAM. Both VC820 and CC820 boards support Intel Pentium III and
Pentium II processors. Systems using these motherboards are expected to
reach the market within the next 30 days, Intel said.
