A source confirmed today that Intel does plans Prescott processor at 2.80 and 3.0GHz to be released in the first quarter next year and also added some details of the Grantsdale-GV and Grantsdale-GL core-logic products we revealed in yesterday’s news-story.

Intel Grantsdale-GV chipset will support both 533MHz and 800MHz Quad Pumped Bus Celeron or Pentium 4 processors in Socket T form-factor. It will also be able to work with dual-channel DDR (333, 400MHz) and DDR-II SDRAM (400, 533MHz) memory. The part will not have a graphics port, unlike the Grantsdale-G, also boasting with the same capabilities.

The Grantsdale-GL core-logic designed for Celeron processors with 533MHz Quad Pumped Bus and 256KB of L2 for LGA775 will only support dual-channel PC2700 and PC3200 DDR SDRAM, thus, we can conclude that next year even Celeron chips will receive a dual-channel platform.

All Grantsdale-G series chipsets will support PCI Express interconnection as well as incorporate Intel Extreme Graphics 3 core. However, the GV and GL will not support external graphics cards due to the absence of PCI Express x16.

In the Q1 2004 you should expect Socket 478 Prescott processors to ramp through mainstream market; it the Q2, however, there will be a massive launch of LGA775 and PCI Express platforms in all market segments, including the high-end and entry-level.
