Unofficial sources relate a couple of rather curious facts about the upcoming Intel 845G chipset (it seems to be Intel 845 with PC2100 DDR SDRAM support, 533 MHz Quad Pumped system bus and new integrated graphics engine).
The chipset is reported to be released in April, simultaneously with Intel 845E chipset (PC2100 DDR SDRAM + 533MHz Quad Pumped system bus). The same thing follows from the ABIT roadmap that was published yesterday.
At last we got hold of the first news regarding the embedded graphics subsystem performance of this chipset. According to the reports from the mainboard manufacturers that have seen i845G, its embedded graphics engine performance "is close to NVIDIA GeForce2 MX400". If this info is correct, i845 is going to be at least as nice in graphics as NVIDIA nForce, and maybe even better.
Current information says that the price of i845G at the moment of its release is to be $46 which is $5 higher than its non-integrated brother i845E. By the way, it seems logical that i845E chips will be in fact rejected i845G chips (having an embedded graphics disabled), as it happened with i815/E and i815/E/P chipsets.
