Intel PAT Compared On 865PE Boards

Posted by CowboyNeal on Saturday June 28, 2003 @03:09AM from the motherboard-go-round dept.

Xaley writes "There is roundup at VR-Zone on several 865PE boards which came equipped with Intel PAT feature and definitely consumers will be happy to purchase these boards without paying a premium price that Intel has charged for their 875P chipset. A typical 865PE board costs around $150 and a 875P board costs around $200-250 so it is a cost savings of $100. Of course, Intel won't be too happy about it since sales of their 875P chipsets will be affected but there is no stopping for motherboard manufacturers from adding in the PAT feature into their 865PE boards now."

PAT=Performance Acceleration Technology
The 875P Canterwood chipset with PAT supposedly provides a 5-7% performance improvement over 865 chipset.
