Intel Chipsets Make Way For Hyperthreading
On Monday, Intel will announce four new desktop chipsets and officially confirm that it has validated PC1066 dual-channel RDRAM, possibly the last gasp for the Rambus technology.
Intel will release four chipsets: an "enhanced" version of its 850E, with the PC1066 Rambus support; and the new 845GE, 845PE, and 845GV, stirring in a few new consonants to the alphabet soup of Intel chipsets. All four include support for hyperthreading, Intel's name for the instruction-level parallelism that allows a compliant operating system to believe that two virtual processors are being used in place of a single physical chip, improving performance.
