Intel’s executive vice president Sean Maloney took the wraps off the company’s latest chipset on Tuesday morning, at the Computex trade show in Taipei, Taiwan. The 3 Series chipset, formerly codenamed "Bearlake," will support Intel’s latest 45nm Penryn processors, which will come out later this year.
The 3 Series chipset will support DDR2 memory up to 800MHz, or DDR3 memory up to 1333MHz, along with support for Intel’s own "Turbo Memory," which is supposed to improve application load times and boot times. For the latest generation of graphics cards, a PCI Express 2.0 connection is also included.
