The Bearlake-X chipset family will bring a support for new DDR 3 memory. Intel has been using DDR2 for a while and in the third quarter next year it wants to add support for DDR3 to these new chipsets. The chipset will be paired with the ICH9 family south bridge in ICH9R and IHC9DH flavours.

The chipset Bearlake-X will have support for PCIe 2.0, 2x16X PCIe graphics, DDR3 running at 1333 speed, Quad core support. This chipset will follow after announcement of Bearlake-P and Bearlake-G chipsets in Q2 2007. The key difference is that the first Bearlake won't have as many features as the Bearlake-X and G+ especially the DDR 3 support.

Početkom 2007. bi trebal stići E4300, po cijeni od oko $130 - 180...

The E4300 has 2Mb of cache, is stripped of advanced features like VT and vPro. So what so good about it?

• Unlike its 266MHz brothers, it has an FSB OF 200MHz Why is that important? It's important because a lower FSB will almost guarantee a lot more overclocking room than the other Conroes.
  
• The E4300 has a 9X multiplier, compared to the 7X and 8X multipliers of the E6300 and E6400. Since the primary bottleneck for Conroes is going to be FSB, an E4300 will run faster at any given FSB than the other cheapish Conroes.

Naravno ovo je sve pod upitnikom i pitanje je kaj bu od svega toga bilo.
