Intel "Alderwood" to Succeed Intel 875P "Canterwood"
Intel, the world’s largest chipmaker, plans to unleash a powerful core-logic code-named Alderwood in addition to its Grantsdale series of chipset products for extreme, mainstream and cost-effective personal computers in 2004.
Intel Grantsdale-P will sport a 533 and 800MHz Quad Pumped Bus for LGA775 processors, dual-channel DDR-II memory at up to 533MHz, PCI Express x16 port for graphics cards and a rich arsenal of I/O capabilities. Intel is also said to ship Grantsdale-G adding Intel Extreme Graphics 3 core to the mentioned list of specifications, Grantsdale-GV without PCI Express x16 as well as Grantsdale-GL with no graphics port and DDR-II support, featuring only 533MHz Quad Pumped Bus for future Celeron processors.
Keeping in mind that previously Intel has always had a way to improve performance of its higher-end chipsets by boosting memory performance, we may expect something of this kind to happen in case of Alderwood as well.
The Grantsdale and Alderwood series of chipsets are very likely to become the most revolutionary platforms of the decade since they bring us a lot of exiting technologies, such as PCI Express interconnection, DDR-II SDRAM memory and a fresh LGA775 socket for new microprocessors.

True, you don't get the new DDR-II & PCI Express technologies, but it help to tye you over to Intel's next generation Tejas processors, sockets and motherboards.
intel has been *drumroll plz*
PWNED!!!
