The name may appear like something you?d order with your nachos, but the similarities end there.
Tejas is the chip Intel hopes will be in your PC in 2005 (assuming that AMD still hasn?t released Clawhammer.) Like the employment prospects of the person who leaked this image from Intel?s labs, details on the new chip are scant. The smart money is saying that the Pin Grid Array (PGA) layout used by the likes of the Pentium 4 is on the way out, making way for a less expensive land grid array, or LGA setup.
Tejas CPUs will allow the use of the expensive (but fast) DDR II memory and use PCI Express Graphics. There?s no comment on whether Tejas chips will BSOD your PC if it detects unauthorised MP3s on your hard drive, but if it?s any consolation, Intel is promising that it will run cooler and quieter. Think of it as the follow up to the due-in-2003 Prescott line-up, which means Intel?s bean counters, will be pushing for it to be out the door in 2004.
