Thursday: May 22, 2003

Editorial Summary:

  • The Intel® 865G (Springdale) chipset has been added to the list of Intel chipsets enabled by AMIBIOS8, joining the 875P (Canterwood) for workstations and the 855M for mobile computers (Centrino family).

ATLANTA (Thursday, May 22, 2003) American Megatrends announces that its PC initialization software, AMIBIOS, supports platforms based on the combination of the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor and the Intel® 865G Springdale chipset, as well as high-end gaming PCs based on the 875P (Canterwood).

The Intel® 865G and Intel 865PE chipsets with integrated graphics extend the computing power of Hyper-Threading technology – previously targeted only at high-end systems - to mainstream desktop applications. This support, coupled with existing support for the 875P (Canterwood) allows AMI to address two crucial markets: desktops and PC-based workstations based on Intel's Pentium 4 processors. Several new features in these chipsets expand desktop performance, graphics and communication
