- 系列的名字叫“Diamondville” (猜一下,中文名字会叫什么?肚疼?)是"Shelton"平台的一部分
- 据说不需要风扇,有人猜想这个平台系列应该被用在Asus即将推出的台式机Eee PC中。
Intel said to be planning 45nm Diamondville CPU for low-cost PCs
It looks like Intel's not done with its 45nm processorsjust yet, as Reg Hardware is now reporting that the company is set torelease yet another model, dubbed "Diamondville", that is apparentlyintended specifically for low-cost desktop PCs. That processor willapparently be part of the so-called "Shelton" platofrm which, amongother things, will be able to operate without a fan, meaning thesystems based on it should definitely be on the small side. The folksat Reg Hardware go one step further than that, however, speculatingthat the Diamondville/Shelton combo could in fact be the basis forAsus' forthcoming desktop Eee PC-- a possibility given a bit more credence given that Shelton isdesigned to work with 2 to 4GB of flash storage. Either way, we shouldbe hearing plenty more about it soon enough, as the platform issupposedly set for a 2008 release.

Intel will next year launch a low-cost desktop PCplatform, it has been claimed. The news comes days after Asus said it'sdeveloping a desktop version of its Eee PC ultra-compact laptop for a 2008 release.
Intel's platform is codenamed 'Shelton' and is set to centre on a45nm processors dubbed 'Diamondville', described by companypresentation slides posted by Chinese-language site HKEPC as a "purpose-built low-cost processor".
Shelton is being designed specifically for low-cost systems, butwill have an appeal to companies making thin clients, the chip giantreckons.
Diamondville can operate without a fan - a cost-cutting measure as muchas an attempt to get Shelton into small form-factor PCs - and will besoldered to the motherboard. Boards will be based on either Intel's own945GC integrated chipset or SiS' SiS671.
And here's the clincher that marks Shelton down almost certainly asthe desktop Eee PC's foundation: it's designed to work with 2-4GB ofFlash storage. That said, the chipset will also handle parallel ATA andSATA devices, and other peripherals through six USB ports. Early boardpictures show a single DIMM slot and one PCI connector.
Shelton-based will be certified to run Windows Vista |
