Intel Investors - Maybe MORE delays for AMD Chip SetS
Who knows - maybe AMD has fallen out of bed !
The release date on this sucker? The chipset has to be "re-spun" by the chipset manufacturer, further delaying the otherwise solid, working platform. This chipset delay will push back the product release until at least mid Q1 of 2001.
Get this - The chipset has to be "re-spun" by the chipset manufacturer, further delaying the otherwise solid, working platform.
- only an AMDroid could say SOLID, working platform in the same sentence with "Chipset needs to be respun " !!!

Dual Processor Motherboard From Tyan - Ryan Shrout - Friday, December 01, 2000 - 12:31 AM

I got a little bit of information from Tyan about their upcoming dual-processor (SMP) Athlon Socket A motherboard. This looks to be quite a kick ass board. Only bad thing is, they couldn't give me specs or even the NAME of the chipset, since it is under heavy NDA. If I were to fathom a guess, I'd say it was the AMD760MP chipset. Here's some more specs for you:
Dual 462-pin Socket A Processor Support
Dual 10/100 On-board NICs
Dual Channel Ultra160 SCSI
Server Management
64-bit PCI Slots
Intergrated Graphics
..And more!
Not quite sure what the "more" is, but I'd take another guess that it will be on-board sound, and maybe some RAID controllers, but again, just a guess. The release date on this sucker? The chipset has to be "re-spun" by the chipset manufacturer, further delaying the otherwise solid, working platform. This chipset delay will push back the product release until at least mid Q1 of 2001. |
