Intel To Launch Bearlake Chipsets For Desktops

According to DigiTimes, Intel plans to kick off CeBIT 2007 with its Bearlake family of chipsets. The new series introduces a 1333MHz fsb, support for DDR3 memory and are designed to support Intel's upcoming 45nm processors.

The main chipset on show is known as the P35 and is to be positioned as the successor to Intel's current 965 Express series for mainstream desktops, according to sources. Motherboards based on the P35 will be able to support FSB speeds up to 1333MHz which will be required for several of the CPUs Intel is planning to launch in the second half of the year.
