2004-06-21 Intel Prescott LGA775 Prescott using the LGA775 socket is launched. 64-bits (EM64T, CT Technology) for the desktop is slated for 05-Q2. EM64T chips will be called 'F' after the clock speed.
2004-06-21 Intel Alderwood 925X High-end chipset, succeeding Canterwood for Prescott and Tejas, while Grantsdale handles the "mid-end". ECC support was present, but has been removed from roadmaps. Priced at $50.
A faster version called i925XE with 1066 MHz will be launched in Q3/Q4.2004-06-21 Intel Grantsdale 910/915 Desktop chipset for Prescott and Tejas (the Socket T or LGA775 processors). Supports DDR-II SDRAM (400/533) and the ICH6 south bridge. Graphics is enhanced with DX9 and DVI support, dual displays, faster graphics access etc and is called "Graphics Media Accelerator 900" (or GMA900), formerly known as "Intel Extreme Graphics 3". Will be launched as
- 915P ($37)
- 910PL: "light" (05-Q1: $23)
- 915G: added graphics ($41)
- 915GV: value graphics (Q3, $37)
- 910GL: value graphics "light" (05-Q1: $27)
2004-06-24 Intel Celeron D Celeron processor based on the Prescott core debuts. Names: 320, 325, 330 and 335.
2004-06-28 Intel E7525 Workstation chipset for Nocona and Jayhawk. Previously known as Tumwater and E7515.
2004-06-28 Intel Nocona Xeon DP variety of Prescott made with the 90 nm process. Uses the Tumwater and Lindenhurst chipsets with a 800 MHz bus. Includes HyperThreading, SSE3 and the 64-bit EM64T (earlier CT, Yamhill, AMD64) Technology.
2004-11-08 Intel Fanwood / Madison 9M Upgraded Madison with 9 MB of L3 cache. Said to run at 1.6 GHz, and DP chips will include a bus speed increase to 533 MHz (earlier thought to be 667 or 800 MHz), while MP chips stay at 400 for now. The DP chip is called Fanwood while the MP chip is known as Madison 9M. Uses the E8870 chipset.
An upgraded Deerfield (a low voltage Itanium) will also be launched known as Fanwood LV. The first versions use the 400 MHz bus, while chips using a 667 MHz bus will show up in 2005-Q1.
