Intel's Prescott breathes new life into desktops
C|Net | at | by Mike
Intel will release its Prescott desktop chip later this year and follow it in 2004 with a successor code-named Tejas and a slew of other products designed to make the desktop more compelling. Although analysts and many PC makers often bemoan the lack of profits to be found in desktops, the machines still make up the majority of PCs sold. To that end, the Santa Clara, Calif.-based chipmaker is developing new chips, technologies, PC prototypes and software to make desktops easier to own. Often this technology ends up in notebooks, but it typically starts on the desktop.
