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.

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?
