For DDR2 800+, manually BIOS adjustment is needed) Support Dual channel DDR2 667/800/1066 memory interface up to 8GB (P35 chipset supports up to DDR2-800 officially. Supports Intel Quad Core Technology to 1333MHz and up Supports Intel Hyper-Threading (HT) Technology Supoprts Intel 05B/05A and 04B/04A processors Supports Socket 775 for Intel Core2 Extreme, Core2 Duo, Pentium 4 (Prescott, P4EE), Pentium D, Pentium XE/Celeron D processors in LGA 775 package One of the first companies to market with a DDR2 variant of the Intel P35 chipset is MSI, with the MSI P35 Platinum motherboard we’ll be reviewing today. But unlike what we saw three years ago, the P35 chipset will also be available with support for DDR2, allowing the market to gradually transition toward DDR3, instead of forcing its adoption. This new chipset is replacing the mainstream P965 and is called the P35, and with it, Intel brings support for the 45nm Wolfdale and Yorkfield cores (Penryn), 1333MHz bus speeds, an improved memory controller and south bridge, and support for DDR3 memory. And like we saw three years ago, Intel has recently launched a new chipset family - formerly codenamed Bearlake - that usher in a slew of new technologies to the market place. Intel has received accolades for their Conroe and Kentsfield based processors, and their 975X and P965 chipsets have been very successful. At that time, Intel’s NetBurst processors trailed AMD’s and the company caught a lot of criticism from motherboard partners, OEM computer manufacturers, and press alike.įast forward to today, and we are in a completely different situation.
Although the chipsets were decent performers and had good features, Intel was criticized for forcing the adoption of these new technologies when the market wasn’t really demanding it.
Just around this time three years ago, Intel launched their 925X and 915 motherboard platforms, bringing to market a new microprocessor socket, support for DDR2 memory, and support for PCI Express.
