533MHz FSB Xeons Anyone? Yes Please!
Posted by: Jim on: 09/13/2002 12:20 AM [ Print | 9 comment(s) ]
I was talking to some of the ladies in #techreport on irc.openprojects.net and decided to actually hit their website to check for any possible newsage. They had a link to an Inquirer article detailing Intel's plans for their Xeon line of processors, which they talked about at IDF.
Fister also outlined details of 533MHz front side bus server chips for dual processors machines aimed at the workstation and server market.We'll take four. Thanks Intel. Hi.
He also spelled out details of its up and coming Granite Bay and Placer chipsets, and the Plumas 533 chipset.
These chipsets, along with other Xeon microprocessors, are due to arrive between now and the end of the year.

Yeah, when I initially typed that out I added the hyphen out of sheer habit from typing out the URL once a day. :-P" Fixed!

happens to everyone, buddy...  apart from times when i spend spec'ing out a new rig, the rest of the time i'm sitting on the side line also...  spikegifted.net "At the very beginning of the 19th century chemists generally thought that compounds from living organisms were too complicated in structure to be capable of artificial synthesis from non-living things, and that a 'vital force' or vitalism conferred the characteristics of living beings on this form of matter." Well, how wrong were they? So much for dogma... |

I'm missing something in Intel's roadmap. What is the purpose of the Plumas chipset if the Placer is coming out around the same time? Isn't the Placer better in every way? (ICH4, 533FSB, Dual support, AGP 8x, etc.) What purpose does the Plumas provide? Robert |

Again from Mikeshardware.co.uk
So Placer is the chipset with more cutting edge technologies.... therefore $$$++. |

I read all that, but it still doesn't make sense on why they would bother to release the Plumas. Seems redundant, except the Placer is better. Robert |
