Intel To Redesign PC With "Grantsdale" Chip

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the a-whole-new-bus-is-coming dept.

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."

    Got two lovely aluminum Pickett's right here. One full size in a leather holster, and one pocket sized. . .in a leather holster. Now *that's* geek chic.

    Someone wandered off with my K&E bamboo rule though. The bastard.

    The batteries never wear out. You can use them by candlight in a power outage. You can fully douse them with water. They even keep working when your space capsule blows a gasket and you to figure out how to get home with the air you've got left.

    Plus they keep on your toes with regards to the concept of of significant digits.

    Quake runs a bit slow though.
