If you're a fan of Intel processors, Intel would like to you introduce you to a pair of new chipsets today as well. Through all of the success and failures (but not many) in Intel's processor development, the one constant has been Intel's core-logic chipset dominance in their own platform market. Though companies like VIA, SiS, ULi and most recently NVIDIA have made inroads on the Intel chipsets over the years, but none have been able to even peak at the market share Intel owns.
The reasons for it are pretty basic: Intel chipsets have lacked the pizzazz and marketable features that others depend on but what they did have was a penchant for making ridiculously reliable and high performing parts. After all, who could know Intel's platform better than Intel?
