Intel question: Are all Celeron 1.2s with 256k L2 cache? (like P-IIIs) Seems like a decent value if you want an Intel chip... Jim

i845 with DDR looks to be the "BX" chipset of the P4. fast, stable, economical. I will be surprised if it doesn't at least equal the performance of the p4x266a dave

More details on Intel's Springdale Chipset and Prescott Processor - xbitlabs.com Sunday, November 18, 2001 Intel Springdale Details [1:01 pm] Intel has recently told the mainboard manufacturers some details about the future products the company is currently working on, namely about Springdale chipset and Prescott processor core, which will be used in the future Pentium 4 CPUs. According to this info, Springdale chipset intended for Pentium 4 processors will come out in the middle of 2003 and will replace the Brookdale chipset family. Although Intel has at first claimed that Springdale will be ready by the beginning of 2003, now they have decided to postpone it a little bit, and to implement DDRII+ support, instead of the initially planned DDRII. Thanks to it, Springdale will be able to work with 533MHz DDR memory, which will ensure the bandwidth of 4.3GB/sec, i.e. will fully correspond to the bandwidth of 533MHz Quad Pumped Bus of the future Pentium 4 CPUs. Unfortunately, Springdale is very unlikely to work with DDRII memory modules, because the specification of DDRII+ implies a different signal level: 1.8V instead of 2.5V. This way, Intel doesn’t have a single desktop chipset with DDRII support on the roadmap right now. As for the supported CPUs, here we come across some info on the new Prescott. According to our reliable sources, Springdale will work with both: 0.13micron Northwood based Pentium 4 processors, as well as 0.09micron Prescott based Pentium 4 CPUs, which are due together with Springdale, that is in the middle of 2003. Prescott is supposed to become the first non-server processor core featuring HyperThreading technology (Thread-Level Parallelism), which will be moving to the desktop sector from the server processors. Besides the common Springdale version, Intel also plans to release a chipset modification with the integrated graphics core, Springdale-G. The core is most likely to be borrowed from the predecessor, Brookdale-G. And Brookdale-G in its turn should have a totally new high-performance graphics core, as we have promised you. It will be developed solely by Intel without any contribution from other companies. Together with Springdale we will also see a new ICH5 South Bridge. ICH5 will replace ICH4, which will come out in Q2’02 together with Brookdale-E/G chipset and will add some new features to the already supported set. In the first place we would like to mention SerialATA support, which has been removed from ICH4 because this hub was supposed to be launched earlier. ICH5 will also have an integrated wireless network controller meeting 802.11 specification. Other features including USB 2.0 will be borrowed from ICH4. We would also like to point out that Intel changed its mind concerning the bus between the chipset bridges. It will not use 3GIO bus for the upcoming Springdale. There will be just Hub Link 2 bus with 1.06GB/sec bandwidth instead.
