Intel unveils new chip sets at Computex show

June 3, 2008 (Computerworld) Intel Corp. today unveiled new chip sets for desktop PCs at the Computex trade show in Taiwan.

Sean Maloney, executive vice president of Intel, made the announcement during a keynote address at the conference Tuesday. The Intel 4 Series chip sets, which include the G45, G43, P45 and P43, will be used with the 45 nanometer Intel Core 2 Duo and Intel Core 2 Quad processors.

"The Internet is going high-def," Maloney said during his keynote. "Desktop PCs with these new chip sets let you enjoy, share and protect your digital life. They have the processing power and graphics to deliver stutter-free HD video playback, improved 3-D performance and leading storage capabilities."

Maloney noted that people increasingly are looking to be able to store all of their high-definition videos, photographs, music and games in one place — a central library — and be able to access that entertainment and data library from small mobile Internet devices while they're on the go.

The new Intel G45 Express chip set sports the updated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X4500HD and is designed to deliver strong visual performance and quality. According to the company, it's the first Intel platform to integrate complete hardware high-definition pipelines for Blu-ray and other HD content playback. It's also the first Intel platform to post-process HD content for improved visual quality.

The Intel G43 Express chip set is designed to deliver strong graphics for everyday computing. It uses Intel Clear Video Technology for HD playback and also has an enhanced 3-D graphics engine with full support of Microsoft Windows Vista Premium.

A chip set is a group of integrated chips or circuits that are designed to work together. Often sold as a single product, chip sets are designed to work with a main processor.

Just last week, Intel confirmed that a problem with its integrated graphics chip set had forced the company to postpone the launch of its new Centrino 2 laptop system.

The company said that its Centrino 2 mobile platform, code-named Montevina, is being pushed back from a scheduled release in June to a partial release in July and a more expansive release in August. The new mobile processor and at least one chip set is now set to ship on July 14, according to Patrick Ward, an Intel spokesman. Wireless components and all the accompanying chip sets are slated to ship in August.
