Intel offers 'Tidewater' and 'Big Water' reference platforms for developers Semiconductor Business News (02/27/02 13:04 p.m. EST) SAN FRANCISCO -- During the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) here today, Intel Corp. announced that it is developing two reference design platforms that will help system houses to manufacturer high-speed but low-power PCs. The two platforms, dubbed Tidewater and Big Water, reportedly will not be marketed under the Intel brand name. The Santa Clara, Calif.-based chip giant will offer the platforms to OEMs in order to help them develop their products more rapidly. Both Tidewater and Big Water appear to incorporate guts of the PC, such as the motherboard, heat sink, fan, and other components and sub-systems. Tidewater will incorporate a board, based on the Micro ATX form-factor, said Louis Burns, vice president and co-general manager for the Desktop Platforms Group at Intel, in a keynote address here today. Tidewater will ship in April, he said. Meanwhile, Big Water is a future reference design platform that will ship in the 2003 and 23004 time frame. It will incorporate the company's 3GIO I/O technology and other features.

I wonder who told him to say that? There have been noise and EMI issues since 60 Hz. Tony
