The secret word for today is "Springdale". That's the codename for Intel's new i865PE and i865G motherboard chipsets. They support dual-channel DDR400 and an 800MHz (QDR) front-side bus. Anyway, it's not very secret at all any more, with reviews from AnandTech, HardOCP, HotHardware, Digital-Daily, Tech-Report, OCAddiction (and another), MBReview (and another), Bit-Tech, UKGamer ... deep breath ... LostCircuits, TechWareLabs, Sudhian, LegitReviews, PCStats (and another), 3DVelocity, Hexus (and a mini-PC) and ExtremeOC. Jeez.
Hand-in-hand with these new chipsets are some new CPUs. Intel has released Pentium 4 "C" versions, which are at speeds we've already seen (2.4, 2.6 and 2.8GHz) but which have HyperThreading and 800MHz FSB support. More info on Tech-Report and TomsHardware has a look at the whole shebang of chips and chipsets for today. Interestingly, they spotted that the MSI motherboard is automatically overclocking itself by up to 8% when running CPU-intensive applications or benchmarks. MSI replied saying yup, it's true and will be a feature in future BIOS versions for several of their boards. Neato, but perhaps they should have mentioned it before sending out their board to be compared with others.
