New PCs debut with latest Intel chipset
image The 865 series of chipsets, formerly code-named Springdale, accelerates the flow of data between the processor and various computer components, leading to richer graphics and better performance from applications such as audio- or video-editing programs.

A similar chipset, the 875P, was released in April, but only in a small number of high-end PCs. The new systems will be far more widespread and will start around $799 with a monitor included. Price cuts accompanying the release of the 3.2GHz Pentium 4 will drive further discounts.

Dell and IBM are putting the new chipsets in PCs that are around 60 percent smaller than standard desktops. Later this year, the chipsets will appear in PCs using Prescott, Intel's next big chip.

"As far as chipsets go, this will be Intel's big piece of news for the year," said Dean McCarron, principal analyst at Mercury Research.
