Intel To Redesign PC With "Grantsdale" Chip
MarkRH writes "Over at ExtremeTech, we tracked down some Intel roadmaps that discuss "Grantsdale", Intel's most important chipset in nearly a decade. Grantsdale brings PCI Express to the PC, so get ready to toss out your motherboard, AGP graphics card, and maybe a host of other components, too. Also check out our articles on the "Tejas" microprocessor, Intel's first CPU to forego pins (check out the waffle iron socket!), as well as the real reason Banias saves so much power."
We've all switched to Macs!

Now you can finally play Doom 3.

And Floppies too!
I'm stoked. I'm going to pull in some serious coin on this deal.
Every socket designer dreams about being chosen to do a major Intel processor. It doesn't get any bigger than this, baby!
I just hope it ain't the short bus. I hate getting on that friggin' thing, and I don't do well with ramps on a friggin' bus.
TLoM: Nerds + DDR + Rednecks for the win!
Well, their answer to Grantsdale's "whopping" 4GB of memory will be: "uh... your penis is so tiny".

Feh. Anybody who's seen intel's roadmap (as I have) knows the Grantsdale chip is just a stepping stone.
Personally, I'm waiting for the Higgenbotham chips in early 2005. After that, the Ranmatheau chips. In earlier 2007, expect amazing performance from the Cleodranvier chipset.
2008 brings us the amazing 10-GHz Hefnestranthellhaller chipset, and 2009 unveils Intel's most impressive chip: the Quackenbush.
But the true surprise comes in 2010, when the world experiences the amazing speed of the Gentrecktagazunt.
Truly wonderous times ahead.
Not to mention "the additional pins" - I thought it was pinless.

Huh huh huh....you said Wang.
It would ruin the prestige of my almost-completed three-thousand-node 6502 superbeowulfcomputer! I had to buy a lot of VIC20s and Apple II+s to build this thing, and it's going to piss me off if you can start getting the same thing in a single chip from Intel.
