To All, Intel shows low-end chip set for stripped-down Pentium II By Mark LaPedus TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Taking another step into the low-end PC market, Intel Corp. is quietly showing a new family of personal-computer chip sets designed for use in its upcoming line of stripped-down, Pentium II processors. Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel also has cut the price in Taiwan for its high-end, 440LX line of PC chip sets in a move to spur demand for its current Pentium II chips, according to industry sources here. Intel's new chip-set, dubbed the 440LXR, is design to work with its upcoming, stripped-down Pentium II processor, a chip that does not include internal, Level 2 cache memory, according to several sources. Slated for introduction early- to mid-1998, Intel is readying its new Pentium II chip and the 440LXR for the emerging, sub-$1,000 PC market, a business that the U.S. chip giant has only recently addressed. In a press event in Taipei today, Ronald J. Smith, vice president and general manager of Intel's Computing Enchancement Group, re-stated the company's strategy to attack the sub-$1,000 PC market in earnest. Smith, however, declined to comment on the company's new product lines.
