Intel’s chipset code-named Twin Castle for the upcoming generation of Intel Xeon MP processor code-named Potomac will be Intel’s first chipset for multiprocessor applications as well as the company’s initial attempt to create a core-logic with separate Memory Bridge and North Bridge chips. The Twin Castle consists of three chips: TNB (North Bridge, PSB controller), XNB (Memory Bridge, connects TNB to memory channels) and ICH5 (I/O controller). One of the reasons why Intel made decision to create a chipset with separate memory and PSB controllers could be the company’s plans to develop a very flexible core-logic that could sport numerous types of processors as well as memory. The price of the Twin Castle (Kit “A”) - $ 255 for three chips.

nForce 3 250 motherboard chipset will be introduced on the 1st of March. This chip will be able to have its AGP and PCI fixed that will help in overclocking and it will paired up with CK8-04 to bring Gigabit LAN and serial ATA. This chipset will support 939-pins Athlon 64/FX/Opteron as well as 754 pins. Nvidia's partners might have some boards ready for CeBIT so the real availability of these boards seams to be April. The chip will have HT 1000MHz support.

A problem for tweakers of Athlon 754 CPUs is that neither chipset available for the processor - K8T800 or Nforce 3 -- allows you to set AGP and PCI speeds. VIA's K8T800 PRO will be enable you to fix AGP and PCI values. This means that your PCI and AGP devices won't be over-overclocked. This means that 939 CPUs might be good overclockers, as we saw a phase-changed, cooled Athlon FX running at more than 2800MHz from its original 2200MHz and it was still running quite cool.

SiS today announced the launch of its newest south bridge, the SiS965, supporting PCI Express and integrated Gigabit LAN and featuring support for up to 4 SATA ports. Integrating the latest PCI Express technology, the SiS965 is ready for the technologies of tomorrow that will arrive with PCI Express. The new PCI Express standard is phasing out the standard PCI slots that have been the basis of the PC hardware I/O system for the past decade. With PCI Express, users can expect their PCs to be upgradeable to the next generation of high-performance peripheral devices designed specifically for the higher bandwidth that PCI Express offers, such as Gigabit LAN cards and Capture cards.

The next big mobile core is called Merom and it is not just a tweaked and re-tweaked Banias, it is a completely new core. Merom is expected to have large changes to it to make it top the last core by 20-30% clock for clock. There will be a desktop version of this chip known as Conroe with all the features one would expect out of a desktop chip due out in late 2006. It should be on the same bus as Merom.
