Inel Investors - According to XBITLabs, the Brookdale SDRAM chip set (i845A) for the Pentium 4 may be arriving earlier than expected - perhaps in July. xbitlabs.com Thursday, May 17, 2001 Intel 845 with PC133 SDRAM Support in June! [4:15 pm] Rat According to our sources in Taiwan, the first version of Intel 845 chipset (Intel 845A) for Pentium 4 processors supporting PC133 SDRAM will really be released in June (if worst comes to worst, it will happen in July), as we have actually predicted. The chipset is likely to be announced at Computex show already, in early June. At least as far as we know, many mainboard manufacturers are planning to showcase their solutions on this chipset at Computex. The chipset specs have been known for a long while now that’s why we will just remind you about them briefly. It will support Socket478 Pentium 4 CPUs and will feature an ICH2 (ATA/100) microchip. It is quite possible that the chipset will also allow designing Socket423 mainboards, however, we don’t think that any of the manufacturers will dare to. And almost the only unclear thing, which has been in i845 specs is now disclosed: the chipset will support up to 3GB PC133 SDRAM. So, the last and the most important thing we have to find out about this chipset now is its performance :-)
