While Intel next-generation Bearlake (Intel 3 family chipset) has not been released, Intel has just announced its plan on another new generation chipset. Just has life of a year, Bearlake would be soon replaced by Eaglelake in Q208. HDMI and DisplayPort output connection are features in Eaglelake; while PCI-E 2.0 support would further put the standard into commonplace.
Eaglelake has two derivatives to be releasing in Q208, namely Eaglelake-P and Eaglelake-G. Similar to Bearlake, Eaglelake features support on 1333MHz FSB processors like 45nm Dual-Core Wolfdate and Quad-Core Yorkfield. On the other hand, instead of DDR3- 1066 support in P35 and G33, DDR3-1333 is further supported in Eaglelake. Since it’s estimated that DDR3 is put into commonplace not until 2009, DDR2 memory controller is still a build-in feature with a fully support at DDR2-800. In addition, ICH10 will be coupled with Eaglelake, while detail is not yet to tell.
Moreover, despite PCI-Express 2.0 has been featured by Bearlake, this support would only appear in high-end X38 chipset. As value choices, Eaglelake-P and Raglelake-G, however, have PCI-Express 2.0 support added, which features a jump of speed in 2.5GT/Link to 5GT/Link. This support would further put the standard into commonplace.
About the IGP engine, it’s not yet to know the improvement on 3D performance. Yet features include Display Port, HDMI, DVI, and HDCP originally planned in G35 are all transferred to Eaglelake-G, and it’s confirmed. The IGP would feature new Clear Video engine, while HD-DVD and Blu-Ray are further strengthened. Together with features on Bitstream Processing/Entropy Decode, Frequency Transform, Pixel Prediction and Deblocking, CPU would no longer be the bottleneck on video decoding.
