Intel to Drop Low-end Chipsets

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the cheapskates-take-note dept.

SimilarityEngine writes "Intel is planning to terminate production of its 910GL, 915GL and 915PL chipsets by the end of August, as part of a shift in focus towards higher-spec products, possibly with support for new FSB architectures, multi-core processors and a host of other much-requested features relating to virtualisation and security."

  1. Now when you say "security" by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Do you mean "security for the end user" or "security for Microsoft, to keep the end user from doing things which Microsoft does not want them to"?

    If the biggest of one of the only 2 consumer processor manufacturers drops production on low-end processors, who are people going to buy low-end processors from? Most people don't even know who AMD is.

    Sorry, but...
    They're phasing out chipsets, not processors.
    There's still Sis, Via, and all that good stuff in that market.
