Intel’s PM96/GM965 chipsets to be rolled out as scheduled

By

The development of Intel’s forthcoming PM965/GM965 chipsets (codenamed Crestine) for its Santa Rosa platform is on track, which will allow the chip giant to roll out the chips in March 2007 as scheduled, according to sources at Taiwan notebook makers.

The timely introduction of the PM965/GM965 chipsets would enable the chip giant to launch the Santa Rosa platform in the second quarter of next year, said the sources, who have closely followed Intel’s roadmap. With an 800MHz FSB (front side bus) and support for DirectX 10, the PM965/GM965 chipsets could significantly boost the performance of Intel’s Core 2 Duo-based CPUs, the sources contended.
