Desktop Intel Celeron processors price cut Intel cut prices for its desktop Celeron processors.As you can see, high-end chips, 2.3GHz in particular, got cheaper most, while lower-end ones remained at almost the same level. It’s interesting that only 2.4GHz Celeron exceeds $100 range now.
Inno3D Tornado GeforceFX 5200 128MB Review @ Techseekers.net "In short, although the Geforce FX 5200 is the baby of the family it offers adequate performance for the casual gamer with good overclocking potential yielding a 10%-15% performance increase in most games on a typical P4 2.53Ghz. With an expected retail of around the ˆ120-ˆ140 euro mark, it represents very good value for money."Read more at Techseekers.

ATI to announce new Pentium 4 chipsets: RS300 and RS300VE According to Parisian Clubic, referring to own sources, at Computex 2003 in June (if it’s held) ATI plans to announce its new integrated Pentium 4 chipset codenamed RS300.RS300 is to support existing Pentium 4 and future Prescott, 800MHz FSB, HyperThreading and dual-channel DDR400. RV250 DirectX 8.1 GPU (Radeon 9000) will be supposedly used as integrated graphics. Besides, a lighter version — RS300VE – supporting usual DDR400 is also expected. According to provisional information, MSI and FIC already show interest in these novelties to come. Source: Clubic
HWZ article: AMD Opteron Overview "Looking further down the road, the AMD Opteron may require a different socket layout if it undergoes a drastic memory controller change, such as incorporating a DDR II controller and this is where we think there´s potential inflexibility of this design. However, even Intel´s server class series is dotted with various CPU interface variants, so although this may seem fine, it would be advantageous to AMD if they can keep the same interface for some time to come. This is as far as we can speculate at this point of time, but if all the pieces fall in place perfectly for AMD, the Opteron could be ´the next big thing´ in the modern computing era."Read more at HardwareZone.
