Intel's Big Kick Off: 925XE Chipset and P4EE 3.46 GHz

Intel Kicks Off 925XE Chipset And P4EE 3.46 GHz

We already gave an account of Intel's current chipset generation at the time it was launched. Please refer to this article for all the details: Intel Stakes Its Vision of the PC Future with 775 Launch .

925XE Now Runs 266 MHz FSB

Technologically, Intel's 925XE chipset is no different from the already widely-known 925X. The two main differences are FSB1066 and ECC support; while 925X supports ECC, the 925XE won't. However, as customers will primarily be high-end gamers, this limitation shouldn't be much of a problem; ECC is not typically an essential feature on gaming platforms.

Technically, nothing except the maximum FSB speed has changed.
