Intel Corp. has not updated its Intel 975X core-logic for enthusiast-class computers for nearly two years now, but in the final quarter of 2007 the world’s largest chipmaker is projected to reveal two new chipsets for high-performance desktops. While the first one – Intel X38 – has been in the plans for months, the second one – Intel X48 – comes at a surprise.
Intel plans to unveil its long-awaited Intel X38 chipset shortly from now, bringing official support for dual-channel PC3-10600 (DDR3 1333MHz), PCI Express 2.0 bus with multi-GPU technology support and some other performance improvements. The rumoured Intel X48 core-logic is planned to be available by the end of the year and also bring support for 1600MHz processor system bus (PSB) as well as PC3-12800 (DDR3 1600MHz) in addition to features already available on Intel X38, reports DigiTimes web-site.
