Where's Alviso?

Posted by timothy on from the look-for-red-stripes dept.

DMOS writes "Intel's 'Dothan' processor for moblile computers has finally seen the light of day, but where is the rest of the 'Sonoma' platform? Specifically, the 'Alviso' chipset that is replacing the current i855 and ICH4m. So far it appears to be MIA, and Devhardware looks into why with their 'Where's Alviso?' article."

    haven't you stupid open source faggots heard of product cycles? why fucking replace a new chipset right away, making the current one almost worthless to a consumer?

    Dothans came out in May 04, that's bearly a 4 month product cycle. I'd say it would be premature for another chipset even at christmas.

    btw f linux.
