Good all-rounder? Review The Pro is the current feature-packed flagship of Abit's P35 range of motherboards based around - surprise, surprise - Intel's P35 chipset, and supports Intel's range of 1333, 1066 and 800MHz frontside processors, including the Core 2 Extreme, the Core 2 Quad and the Core 2 Duo.â¦

Driver jiggery-pokery? MSI has managed to get Intel's P965 chipset to support ATI's CrossFire, enabling the system on its P965 Platinum motherboard - an industry first, the company claimed today. So far, the multi-GPU technology has been limited to ATI's own chipsets and to Intel's 975X chipset.â¦

This morning, AMD announced its desktop-level integrated chipset combining its designs for systems and peripheral bus controllers with ATI's graphics logic, all in one package. AMD already has the lead in components for value-priced systems, and ATI's logic may help it maintain that lead. But as Intel has proven over the years, that effort might not always bear fruit.

Small yet powerful? Review The SD37P2 is the first Core 2 Duo-ready small form-factor XPC from Shuttle, but it has far more than support for Intel's latest processor on offer. For anyone looking at building a high-end SFF system, the SD37P2 supports ATI's CrossFire - the first SFF PC to do so - although you're limited to single slot cards. Is this the most powerful barebone from Shuttle as yet?â¦

(InfoWorld) - Intel has teamed up with a Taiwanese motherboard vendor to tap China'sÂ burgeoning Internet cafe market, on the heels of a similar announcement earlier this year by rival Advanced Micro DevicesÂ (AMD). Intel China and Elitegroup Computer Systems are taking the battle to system administrators at Chinese Internet cafes, offering the latest version of Intel's network management software designed for Net cafes, as well as motherboards with the latest Intel Core 2 Duo chips on board. The chip maker's Intel Platform Administrator software, IPAT 3.0 with support for Core 2 Duo, was designed to create a more secure, stable network at Internet cafes, with extras such as game management. The software is the first product developed by researchers at an Intel lab in China, designed for Chinese users, the company said in a statement. Elitegroup will provide the motherboards. The announcement follows a deal between Advanced Micro Devices (China) Co. and China's third largest computer vendor, Tsinghua Tongfang, earlier this year. In April, theÂ two companies shook handsÂ on a pact to sell PCs based on AMD chips to Internet cafes throughout China. There are over 120,000Â Internet cafes in China, requiring around 6 million PCs, according to Elitegroup. Although the market may not seem huge, nearly a third of China's 123 million Internet users log on via Net cafes at least part of the time, according to official number cruncher, the China Internet Network Information Center. Intel and Elitegroup will host a series of meetings in cities throughout China to demonstrate and sell the new products, starting with Wuhan, on Sept. 15, they said. They also plan to work with Net cafe owners to help them find ways to use the products to cut costs and improve their business.

One of the most ambitious new features ever to be built into an x86 motherboard is now publicly available: a hypervisor-based computer that runs both the operating system and its underlying BIOS under the control of a virtual machine monitor. Underneath these physical and virtual layers is Intel's latest and boldest implementation of the Trusted Computing platform.

(InfoWorld) - Intel plans to unveil a version of its Xeon processor on Wednesday that's designed for high-end servers with multiple processors -- setting the stage for a showdown with rivalÂ Advanced Micro Devices' upcoming quad-core Barcelona chip. The Xeon 7300 chips, called Tigerton, are the first quad-core processors from Intel designed to be used in servers with four or more processors, a relatively small but lucrative segment of the server market. Previously, the Xeon processor for this segment of the market had two cores, despite the availability of quad-core Xeon chips for single-processor and two-way servers. The new chips offer significantly better performance compared to their predecessors,Â Intel's Xeon 5300 chips, said Adesh Gupta, regional platform architecture manager at Intel Asia-Pacific's Server Platforms Group. "Across the spectrum of different applications, we're seeing really, really good performance," Gupta said. Benchmarks run by Intel showed significant gains for many enterprise applications, including SAP's ERP (enterprise resource planning) software, Gupta said. The 7300 series chips can handle roughly 82 percent more ERP users and 92 percent more database transactions than the 5300 chips, he said. The 7300 is part of theÂ Caneland chip package, which also includes Intel's 7300 chip set, known as Clarksboro. The new chip set has four 1,066MHz interconnects that are linked to an individual processor, helping reduce latency between the processors and main memory. Caneland is the last release expected from Intel before AMD announces the availability of its Barcelona server chips on Sept. 10. Barcelona is widely expected to offer significant performance increases over AMD's existing dual-core server chips, and should mean tighter competition with Intel in the server space. Intel will initially offer six versions of Tigerton. At the top of the range is the X7350, a 2.93GHz chip designed with 8MB of shared on-chip cache and a thermal design power (TDP) of 130 watts. TDP is the highest sustainable level of power for applications that Intel expects to be run on the chip, and the number describes how much heat a system must be able to dissipate from the chip. Intel is also offering several Xeon 7300 chips with a TDP of 80 watts. The E7340 runs at 2.4GHz and offers 8MB of shared on-chip cache. The E7330 also runs at 2.4GHz, but has 6MB of cache. The E7320 and E7310 both have 4MB of shared cache and run at clock speeds of 2.13GHz and 1.6GHz, respectively. Intel will also release a 50-watt version that runs at 1.86GHz. The L7345 has 8MB of shared on-chip cache and is designed for blade servers and high-density rack servers. Two dual-core versions of the Tigerton chip, the E7220 and E7210, will also be available, running at speeds of 2.93GHz and 2.4GHz with a TDP of 80 watts. Both chips have a shared on-chip cache of 8MB and are designed for high-performance computing applications. Tigerton's improved performance doesn't come cheap. The processors are priced from $856 to $2,301 per chip in 1,000-unit quantities, a standard measure of processor pricing. The 7300 will also be the last server chip announced by Intel, before itsÂ upcoming Penryn chipsÂ are made available later this year. Made using a 45-nanometer process that will allow more cache to be put on each chip, the first Penryn server chips are expected to be released in November. Those chips are intended for use in single-processor and two-way servers. The Penryn server chip for multiple-processor servers is called Dunnington and will not be available until late 2008, Gupta said.

(InfoWorld) - Via Technologies announced that two of its PC chip sets have passed Microsoft Windows Vista Basic certification tests, ensuring trouble-free installation and driver upgrades. The certification testing confirms trouble-free installation of the Windows Vista Ultimate, Enterprise, Business, Home Premium and Home Basic editions, Via said in a statement. PC chip sets are the two chips, dubbed the Northbridge and Southbridge, that connect a PC's processor to main memory, graphics, audio and other chips inside a computer and regulate the flow of data between chips. The Via K8M890 chip set works with the full range of Advanced Micro DevicesÂ (AMD) Athlon64 processors and AMD Sempron processors, including processors made for the latest AM2 socket. The Via P4M900 chip set was made to work with IntelÂ processors up to the 1,066MHz front-side-bus speed, including the latest Intel Core 2 Extreme chips. Aside from trouble-free installation, the certification ensures users can expect the chip sets to support functions that take advantage of some of Vista's new features. For example, both the Via K8M890 and Via P4M900 chip sets carry integrated graphics processing cores, the Via Chrome 9 IGP, which provide DirectX 9.0 graphics support and other enhancements meant to optimize Vista's visual experience. The two chip sets also support for the latest PCI Express add-in graphics cards, giving PC makers the flexibility to add greater graphics power, depending on user requirements. Both chip sets are available now from all of the world's top motherboard makers, Via said.ADVERTISEMENTNEW IT SERVICES FROM IBM: EASIER TO BUY AND IMPLEMENTDiscover a simpler, more cost-effective way to get the solutions your company needs to grow more flexible and efficient.
