Register | at | by Mike

Intel took the wraps off its i870 chipset this week, the part that will allow server makers to build 16-way systems based on its Xeon and Itanium processors. It will also be the first chipset to support Intel's Infiniband architecture. And if it ships in Q4, as suggested by the company's server roadmap, it will be the first Intel chipset to support DDR SDRAM.
