More Speed for the Pentium 4

News.com is speaking of the new "Springdale" chipset from Intel, you may remember that Intel announced the "Springdale" during Comdex and pretty much caught everyone off guard.
" The Santa Clara, Calif.-based chipmaker is coming out with a new chipset, code-named Springdale, for Pentium 4 PCs. The chipset runs at 800MHz, substantially faster than the 400MHz and 533MHz chipsets currently available for Pentium 4 computers, according to sources close to the company. "
Being able to deliver is key in the tech sector and right now it seems that Intel is doing just that.
" The chip is expected to be discussed at the Intel Developer Forum kicking off in San Jose, Calif., on Feb. 18. Earlier, some analysts speculated that Springdale would come with a 667MHz bus. Desktop chip price cuts, which haven't occurred since November, will also likely occur around the same time to ease the introduction of the 3.2GHz chip. "
