G31 Chispet Shortage Expected as Intel Transitions to G41

Posted by admin on September 7th, 2009

For motherboard manufacturers, it’s ‘out with the old and in with the new,’ whether they’re ready for the change or not. Citing un-named sources sitting in mobo trenches, DigiTimes says Intel plans to slash the proportion of its G31 IGP chipeset shipments in half, reducing the number from 50 percent to 25 percent in the fourth quarter.

At the same time, Intel also plans to raise the proportion of its G41 shipments to 25 percent, but it remains to be seen how this will play out in terms of sales. According to DigiTimes, motherboard makers appear unwilling to jump on the pricier G41 bandwagon, which costs $7 compared to $4-5 for the G31.

Meanwhile, there already exists a suppy gap of around 20 percent for G31 chipset-based boards, which could reach as high as 50 percent in the fourth quarter. Asrock, ECS, Foxconn, and MSI are expected to suffer the most, as they ship more entry-level boards than Asus and Gigabyte.

Intel’s New CPUs, Chipset to be Announced September 8

Posted by admin on September 1st, 2009

Citing un-named sources in the motherboard industry, news and rumor site DigiTimes says Intel will officially announce its new socket 1156-based desktop platform on September 8, 2009. This includes the Core i5 750, Core i7 860, and Core i7 870 processors, as well as the P55 motherboard chipset.

With anticipation for the new platform running high, motherboard makers expect sales to jump by 15 to 20 percent sequentially in the fourth quarter. P55-based boards are expected to account for 20 percent of all mobo shipments by the end of the year.

Still no word yet on pricing, although much to the chagrin of Intel, its upcoming platform has already been spotted in retail channels in Taiwan and China. The Core i5 750 was seen selling for $206, while the Core i7 860 and 870 were listed at $303 and $575, respectively.

New Netbook to Pack Dual-Core Atom, Ion Chipset

Posted by admin on August 24th, 2009

Finding a dual-core netbook is a lot like looking for the Loch Ness Monster – you keeping hearing it exists, but no one’s been able to prove it. According to a Japanese technology website, not only does it exist (a dual-core netbook, that is), but Shenzhen Weibu Electronics will “soon” have one for sale.

The upcoming netbook ditches the familiar single-core Atom N2xx processor for Intel’s 1.6GHz Atom N330 chip with 1MB of cache. And the N330 supports hyper-threading as well. If that weren’t enough, the new netbook will be built around Nvidia’s Ion platform with integrated Nvidia 9400M graphics, just like those fancy MacBooks boast.

Other specs include 1GB of memory, a 150GB hard drive, webcam, and 802.11 g/b WiFi. And as one would expect, the N10A, as the netbook’s being dubbed, will hit the wallet harder than existing netbooks to the tune of 49,800 yen, or about $530 USD. That starts encroaching on traditional 15-inch notebook pricing, but if other vendors follow suit with similarly spec’d machines, the next generation of netbooks could get awfully exciting.
