BETTER LATE THAN NEVER............Intel Unveils New 820 Chipset That Speeds PCs Using Rambus Memory Standard By John Stebbins Intel Unveils New Chipset That Speeds PCs, Supports Rambus Santa Clara, California, Nov. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Intel Corp., the world's largest computer-chip maker, released its twice- delayed 820 chipset, setting the stage for faster personal computers using Rambus Inc.'s memory-chip standard. PC makers such as Dell Computer Corp. and memory-chip makers like Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. had to delay models that sport the 820 chipset and faster memory designed by Rambus while Intel worked out glitches that popped up in September. The chipset, code-named Camino, was originally scheduled to debut earlier this year. A chipset is a collection of semiconductors that work with a computer's microprocessor to let it talk with the main memory and other devices. Santa Clara, California-based Intel needs Rambus- based PCs to support its speedier processors. ``The Intel 820 chipset is designed from the ground up to take advantage of the power in the fastest Intel Pentium III processors,' said Louis Burns, vice president and general manager of Intel's Platform Components Group. Rambus's design improves the performance of memory chips and is backed by Intel. Rambus licenses its high-speed technology to memory and microprocessor makers, who pay royalties to use it.
