Jim, It also says: But in a further sign of channel alienation, it appears that major PC manufacturers will get mobos from Intel as early as June. I think PB was suggesting that 815 would be more of a early Q1 product, not late Q1 to almost early Q4. Could this be that Intel is again trying to corner the motherboard market? I think Intel is making a lot of enemies in Taiwan. AMD benefits from it a lot. Just look at all these motherboards for Athlon! For a very small market (1.2 million units) it is a major commitment on the part of the Taiwanese motherboard makers. Joe

Jim, that would be a major delay if true I doubt that Intel and Rambus really want the world to see 815 right now. Scumbria

Jim, actually I have very little visibility into desktop chipsets like 815 Solano. I do know their general architecture, but I don't know anything about schedules or volumes or even performance. Funny how the YUK reported that one vendor said the 815 chipset will be a "niche product." I thought the thing was going to replace the 440BX as the mainstream chipset, given its support of PC133 and external AGP-4x. That way, Intel can finally get rid of those problematic SDRAM versions of 820. Tenchusatsu
