Intel to Announce Chip Sets
Supporting Hyper-Threading

By DON CLARK
Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Intel Corp., which has been keeping up a relentless pace of microprocessor introductions, is stepping up its attack in the ancillary market for products called chip sets.

The company on Monday will announce four new chip sets, the products that connect microprocessors to other elements of a computer. All of the products support a technology called hyper-threading that Intel plans to make available in desktop computers later this quarter.

Hyper-threading makes a single microprocessor chip operate in some applications as if it were two separate chips. The feature has been available in Intel chips for servers already, and will become available on desktop computers after Intel delivers a Pentium 4 chip operating at a speed of 3.06 gigahertz.

Other features of the new chip sets include faster connections to memory chips. Intel is also widening its use of its Extreme Graphics circuitry, which makes it possible to build computers without extra chips or circuit boards to handle graphics functions.
