Sources at Taiwanese motherboard makers claim Intel will delay its 965-series chipset and push up the launch of its Conroe processor so that both will hit the market at the same time in July 2006,
DigiTimes reports.
Intel declined to comment. According to Intel’s original schedule, the 965-series chipset and the Conroe CPU would have been launched in the second and fourth quarter of 2006, respectively. Smooth development of Conroe, however, has enabled Intel to reschedule the launch of the new CPU and revise its marketing strategy, said the sources, adding that the launch of its 965-series chipset will be delayed by a week or two.
