Via concerned about Intel i830

Can La Intella make something good?
By Fuad Abazovic, 24 May 2001 08.54 BST

ACCORDING TO OUR FRIENDS, the S3/Via combine is very worried about Intel's
next P6 chipset also known as the i830.Some of you may know this as Almador which
will find its place in the sun in notebook and smaller computers.

This chipset will support mobile Pentium III and mobile Celeron processors and it is
worrying Via, our friends say, because it apparently greatly increases integrated
performance.

One logical question which demands an immediate answer would be how they can do
such a thing is that they will have one new fancy thing inside called a MRIMM.

MRIMM stands for Media Rambus Inline memory module and allows users to install a
small RAMBUS module for the i830 to use as local frame buffer/z cache.

The chipset should feature very impressive 2D performance but, we are not sure about
3D performance.

The interesting fact about it is that Intel can meet their target of selling RAMBUS
chipsets, when the i830 supports PC133 for main memory.

It is rumoured that Almador can be easily canned for the desktop as well and we
should see it launched alongside the Tualatin.

The graphic core used in i830, with the MRIMM module, will find a place as well in
the Brookdale-G chipset. µ
